D. squarrosa. Leaves cordate, ovate, much acuminate, usually 
under \ in. long; pedicels filiform. 
This species differs from D. filipes with which it has greatest 
affinity, principally in having more acuminate and smaller leaves, 
with revolute margins; also in its smaller flowers, and in the upper 
teeth of the calyx being scarcely if at all united, as well as in 
possessing prominent bracts. 
The calyx is similar to that of D. squarrosa, but the leaves 
entirely differ from that species.

"We have proposed the specific name from the recurved margins 
of the leaves. 
Acacia Baeuerleni, sp.nov. 
(PI. LI. — right division.) 
A shrubby 'pubescent plant of about 3 to 7 ft. as seen: generally 
3 to 5 ft., throwing out numerous "switch-like" branchless stems 
from the ground. 
Branchlets few, hoary pubescent, angular, mostly subtended by 
a phyllode, with very prominent decurrent lines. 
Phyllodia rigid, mostly about 6 inches long, narrowed at both 
ends, terminating in a straight recurved pungent point, broadest 
in the middle, where they are 4 to 5 lines broad, rarely slightly 
inclined to falcate, coriaceous; veins parallel, numerous, very 
prominent on both sides, 3 or 4 more distinct than the others, 
the finer veins occasionally anastomosing. Gland slightly removed 
from the base, not prominent. Stipules small, about 1 line long, 
deciduous. 
Peduncles solitary, opposite, about 9 lines long, pubescent, 
bearing a comparatively large, dense, globular head of from 30 to 
40 flowers, closely packed, the calyces almost cohering, mostly 
5-merous. 
Caryx turbinate, lobes obtuse, ciliate, less than half as long as 
the corolla, more or less hairy, eventually separating into spathu-
