innocuo, diraidio superiore minore ad basin uniglanduloso, capitulis solitariis axillaribus pedunculatis ; 
pedunculo phyllodium aequante (nunc duplo longiore), ramis teretibus elongatis incurvatis deflexsive, 
floribus quinquefidis, petalis suberectis, stylo staminibus paulo longiore. 
Hab. in Novae Cambriae Australia parte interiore : in desertis ad margines occidentales 
planitiei psramplae Liverpool. All. Cunn, 1825. Florens leota mense Maio. 
In Hooker's Icones Plantar urn, t. 159, a figure of the type is given with 
the following note : 
Mr. Cunningham notices this as a lovely shrub, forming beautiful garlands with its bending 
many flowered branches. It is extremely difficult to describe the form of foliage in the numerous species 
of New Holland Acaciae, which have oblique or inequilateral leaves. In the present species, were the 
two halves of the phyllodium equally large, the shape would bs cordate ; but, besides tht, the one-half 
is much smaller than the other, this lesser one is suddenly contracted above the middle, and thence to 
the apex presents little more than the thickened margin running parallel with the costa. There is a 
small subulate stipule on each side the base of the phyllodium. The heads of flowers are numerous in 
the axils towards the extremity of the branches, handsome, and yellow. 
(e) A. dysophylla Benth. in Hook, Lond. Journ., Bot. i, 346, is described in 
the following terms : 
Ramulis pedunculis phyllodiisque molliter villosis, phyllodiis ovali-oblongis falcatis undulatis 
marginatis saepius minute glanduliferis basi oblique cuneatis, nervo in mucronem brevem excurrente, 
pedunculis phyllodium aequantibus, capitulis multifloris. Villositate et phyllodiis majoribus (8-12 lin. 
longis a praecedentibus differt. Pine Ridge, near Croker's Range, interior of New South Wales, 
Cunningham. 
(f) A. plagiophylla F.v.M. in Journ. Linn. Soc., iii, 131, is described as 
follows : 
Ramulis hirtellis angulatis, phyllodiis parvis glabris triangularibus sive ovato-deltoideis sessilibus 
mucronatis curvato-uninerviis subaveniis marginatis ad angulum superum obtusiusculum glanduligeris 
Ad flumen Brisbane, No. 25, Hill et Muett. 
Habitu ad Acaciam pravissimam accedens. Phyllodia, 2-4 lines longa, l|-3 lines lata, satis 
obscure viridia, nitidula. Flores et fructus hactenus ignoti. 
(Without further information, it will be impossible to judge of or identify this species. There are 
no specimens sent. G.B.) 
Mueller later described it as follows : 
Acacia plagiophylla (F.v.M. in the Journal of the Linnean Society, iii, 131. A. undulifolia var. 
humilis, Benthan?, Fl. Austr. ii, 356). 
Shrubby ; branchlets slightly angular, scantily short-downy ; stipules almost obliterated ; phyllods 
small, glabrous, deltoid-semiorbicular, shining, one-nerved, the lower margin extended into a straight 
prickle, the nerve slightly curved, passing into the margin at some distance from the terminal point ; a 
minute gland at the extremity of the blunt upper angle of the phyllode ; veins obliterated; flowerstalbs 
axillary, solitary, one-headed, glabrous, little or doubly longer than the phyllodes ; flowers 10-20 in the 
heads ; bracts bearded-fringed, linear towards the base, rhopiboid towards the summit, about as long as 
the calyx ; petals 5, neither hairy nor streaked, at least twice as long as the bluntly toothed short-bearded 
calyx ; pods curved-oblong, flat, suddenly contracted into a stalk-like base, at both extremities rounded- 
blunt, smooth outside ; seeds placed transversely. 
Near Durval and Biroa, Dr. Leichhardt ; vicinity of the Brisbane river, F.v.M. and W. Hill; 
Maroochie, Bailey. Belongs to the series of Triangulares. Ripe fruit unknown. (Wing's Southern 
Science Record for July, 1882, p. 149.) 
It is figured by Mueller in his " Iconography of Australian Species of 
Acacia/' iv, 5, and Bailey (" Queensland Flora," 486), gives the locality in that
