Maranoa District : Between Mitchell and Morven, common on rocky 
hills, C. T. White 12092 (type, flowers and pods), 6-9-1941 (medium tree, 
hard somewhat furrowed bark; local name “Bendee,” wood in demand 
for turnery) ; between Roma and Coogoon L. Wright (flowers) 17-3-1936 ; 
same locality (juvenile and sterile material only) C. T. White, May 
1935; 20 miles west of Mitchell, co-dominant with Cadellia pentastyUs 
in dense forest on greyish silt loam, alt. 1,600 ft., 8. T. Blake 10936

thin, branches oblique, crown rather dense, glaucous, flowers bright 
yellow; local name “Bendee”). Warrego District: Morven, on timbered 
rocky sandy hill-top with Acacia harpophylla and Eremophila Mitchellii,

Jericho (flowers), 10-2-1939 (received from Divisional Engineer's Office, 
Queensland Railways) ; Lome Peak, about 50 miles S.S.W. of Blackall,

Everist No. 1872 (nearly ripe pods), August 1939 (tree about 20 ft. with 
slender branches; local name “Bendee”). 
It is difficult to know whether the present species should be placed 
in Bentham’s series Stenophyllae or Falcatae of the Juliflorae. It has 
some of the characters of both but as its affinities obviously lie with 
A. aneura F. Muell. and A. brachystachya Benth., it is I think best placed 
in the former series. 
The three species can be distinguished as follows : — 
Phyllodia straight, thick, coriaceous, 4-8 cm. long, 3-4 mm. broad, 
sometimes terete, spikes 1. 5-2.5 cm. Pods flat, 2.5-4 cm. long, 
8-14 mm. broad, seeds oblique or transverse . . . . . . A. aneura 
(Mulga). 
Phyllodia narrow-linear, 5-18 cm. long, 1-3 mm. broad; spikes 
1.5- 2. 5 cm. long; pod coriaceous, flattish but biconvex when 
ripe, straight, broad-linear, 2-8 cm. long, 6-8 mm. broad, 
seeds longitudinal or oblique . . . . . . . . A. bracliystachya 
(Umbrella Mulga). 
Phyllodia thinly coriaceous, straight or falcate, narrow-lanceolate, 
3.5- 9 cm. long, 3-6 mm. broad. Spikes 2.5 cm. long. Pod 
flattish but slightly convex over the seeds, markedly monili- 
form due to constriction between the seeds, 2-6 cm. long; 
seeds longitudinal . . . . . . . . . . . . A. catenulata 
(Bendee). 
Family Combretaceae. 
Terminalia insularis sp. nov. (Sect. My rob alarms ) . 
Arbor, ramulis validis apicem versus leviter incrassatis. Folia 
apicem versus ramulorum plus vel minus conferta, subtus molliter 
pubescentia ; lamina obovata, vel elliptico-lanceolata, epunctata, 
plerumque plus vel minus abrupte et obtuse acuminata, basi cuneata, 
8-17 cm. longa, 4.5-9 cm. lata, nervis praecipuis 8-9 in utroque latere, 
subtus elevatis, venis et venulis prominulis, petioli molliter pubescentes, 
1-2-5 cm. longi. Spicae folia aequantes vel superantes densiflorae. 
Calycis tubus 2 mm. longus, dense sericeo-tomentosus ; lobi deltoidei extus 
pilis albis sparsissime obsiti ; intus ad basin pilis longis sericeis densissime
