R. H. CAMBAGE. 



In some cases ten or fifteen phyllodes may be succeeded by 

 several bipinnate leaves. 



Among the branchlets collected from trees of this species 

 at Boomara, near Oloncurry, North Queensland, no stipules 

 were noticed. 



As showing the variability in the presence of stipules it 

 may be mentioned that of seven seedlings one year old of a 

 species of Gleditschia, all grown from seeds obtained from 

 one pod, five showed no sign of stipules, one had two pairs, 

 and another three pairs.
