i. 375, and FI. Austr. ii. 408 ; F. v. M. 1c. Dec. x. 10. Glabrous and often some- 
what glaucous, with acutely angular branchlets. Phyllodia usually falcate- 
lanceolate, narrowed at both ends, 4 to 6in. long, 4 to 8 lines broad, resembling 
those of A. julifera, but varying from 2 or 3in. long, coriaceous and nearly 
straight to above Gin. long, narrow-linear and thin, about 3 nerves fine but more 
or less prominent, and numerous closely packed very fine parallel veins between 
them. Spikes slender, not very dense, about lin. long, the upper ones often 
forming a terminal leafy panicle. Flowers small, mostly 5-merous. Calyx 
short, minutely toothed. Petals smooth. Pod linear, not very long, usually 3 to 
4 lines broad, coriaceous, at first flat, with straight slightly thickened margins, 
but becoming often very much undulate between them, from under 3 lines broad 
and quite thin to broader and thick. Seeds ovate, obliquely transverse, the last 
2 or 3 folds of the funicle dilated into an aril under the seed.

104. A. aulacocarpa (grooved pods), A. Cunn.: Bentli. in Honk. Bond. 
Journ. i. 378, and FI. Austr. ii. 410; F. v. M. Ic. Dec. ix. 9. “ Boorgun',” Nanango, 
Shirley. Slightly hoary or ashy-glaucous with a minute almost powdery down, which 
at length disappears ; branchlets angular. Phyllodia falcate-lanceolate, narrowed 
at both ends, 3 to 4in. long, about fin. broad, with a few slightly prominent 
nerves, the lower ones confluent with the lower margin at the base, and numerous 
smaller closely packed veins, rarely anastomosing. Spikes slender, loose, 1 to 
2in. long, tomentose-pubescent or glabrous. Flowers mostly 5-merous. Calyx 
with short broad lobes. Petals united below the middle. Pod falcate-oblong, 
flat but thick, obtusely recurved at the end, 2 to 3fin. long, f to fin. broad, much 
narrowed at the base, hard, obliquely veined. Seeds obliquely transverse ; 
funicle twisted, not forming an aril under the seed.

105. A. calyculata (flower buds small), A. Cunn.; Bentli. in Hook. Land. 
Journ. i. 379, and FI. Austr. ii. 410. Glabrous or ashy-glaucous; branchlets 
very flat when young, with acute edges. Phyllodia falcate-obtuse, narrowed 
at the base, 2 to 3in. long, about fin. broad, rather thick, with a few slightly 
prominent fine nerves and numerous very fine closely packed parallel veins, rarely 
anastomosing. Spikes mostly clustered, shortly pedunculate, slender, f to fin. 
long. Flowers very small, mostly 5-merous, probably white (from Solander’s 
ms. name A . albijlora j. Calyx short, sinuate-toothed, pubescent or villous. Pod 
falcate-oblong, obtuse, narrowed at the base, flat but thick and hard and obliquely 
veined, resembling that of A. aulacocarpa, but not seen ripe. 
Hab.: Endeavour River, Banks and Solander ; Fitzroy Island, A. Cunningham. 
Pod of A. aulucocarpa, with shorter and more obtuse phyllodia, and the branchlets more 
flattened than in any other Juliflorce of the same subseries. The pods in Cunningham’s 
herbarium are not attached, but carefully numbered to prevent their being mismatched. — Benth. 
Wood dark-brown, hard and heavy ; close-grained. Suitable for turnery and cabinet-work. —
