506 J. H. MAIDEN. 



The above are northern New South Wales. Then we 

 have a gap to the south, with the following one as an 

 intermediate locality: — 



Wirlong-N ymagee (R. H. Oambage, No. 141 ; i n bud only). 



"Growing in bunches four or five feet high," five miles 

 east of Temora (R. H. Oambage, No. 615). Temora 

 (Rev. J.W.Dwyer,Nos. 223, 224, 230). Some of the 

 phyllodes of Father Dwyer's specimens are under 

 one inch as are also some of the Victorian ones. 



Victoria. — Grampians (A. J. Campbell). Pomonal (J. 

 Staer). Dimboola (St. Eloy D'Alton and J. Staer). 



South Australia. — Murray Bridge (J. H. M. phyllodes 

 only). 



Drummond's specimens. — I now come to Drummond's 

 fifth collection No. 13, referred to under A. ixiophylla by 

 Bentham in B. Fl. ii, 387. Indeed he describes the pods 

 ("very flexuose, hispid or glabrous, two to three lines 

 broad") and also the seeds. These pods (the hispid ones) 

 and seeds are not distinguishable from those of A. montana* 

 The pods are, however, not fully grown, and the seeds seem 

 to be arranged obliquely. The phyllodes are viscid, and 

 are more pubescent than those of typical montana, but I 

 think the material available is fairly referable to that 

 species. Certainly it is not A. ixiophylla. 



My specimen is fairly well represented by the right hand 

 figure of Mr. Baker's Plate LXVI of A . ixiophylla. 



This determination would extend the range of A. montana 

 in a westerly direction from St. Vincent's Gulf to Western 

 Australia. 



Following are the specimens of A. ixiophylla in the 

 National Herbarium of New South Wales: — 



Queensland. — Miles, Dalby district (Collector of F. M. 

 Bailey) in flower and fruit. Phyllodes 1-2" by 4 mm. Pod 

 as figured for A. fuliginea by Mr. Baker. Condamine River
