(Leichbardt); Six to eight feet of weak, pendulous growth, 

 Inglewood (J. L. Boorman). 



New South Wales. — Brigalow scrub beyond the Severn 

 (Dr. Leichhardt); Warialda (W. A. W. de Beuzeville No. 8 

 of 24th October, 1913). Pod as figured for A. fuliginea. 

 Most phyllodes a little broader than those of the preceding 

 specimens. "Middle sized shrub," Yagobie, between Moree 

 and Warialda (District Forester). Wee Waa (T. W. Taylor, 

 No. 5). 



The following from the Pilliga Scrub: — (a) Brigalow 

 Greek, eight to ten miles from Outtabri (Dr. H. I. Jensen, 

 No. 44). (b) On red soils between Wongan and Baradine 

 (Dr. H. I. Jensen No. 71). (c) Twelve to eighteen feet (?) 

 common in the Pine Scrub (J. L. Boorman). (cl) eight to 

 ten feet, much branched, common throughout the scrub, 

 always liable to a smut. Outtabri (J. L. Boorman). (e) 

 About ten feet. In sandy clay with Pine and Ironbark. 

 Outtabri (E. H. F. Swain, No. 46). (f) Ten feet, Goona 

 Creek (W. A. W. de Beuzeville, No. 2). 



The following are co-types of Mr. Baker's A. fuliginea 

 and I cannot see in what respect they differ from A. ixio- 

 phylla. They simply continue the series of ixiophylla 

 specimens. The position is that either A. ixiophylla or A . 

 fuliginea cannot stand. 



Bylong Ranges, also Oamboon, seven miles north of 

 Rylstone, October 1893 (R. T. Baker); also Goulburn River 

 1896, same collector. 



A. IXIOPHYLLA Benth. and A. FULIGINEA R. T. Baker. 



We now come to consideration of the points Mr. Baker 

 advances (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxxi, 713) as differences 

 between these two species. 



1. Floivers in the head. — Of A. ixiophylla Bentham says 

 (Lond. Journ. Bot.) "under 20 flowers." In B. Fl. ii, 337, 

 he says, "15 to 20 or rarely more."
