Following are two other Acacias looked upon by Bentham, following Mueller, 
as forms of A. lonyifolia, and not previously dealt with, to which I shall briefly allude : 
(1) var. mucronata, F. Muell., PI. Viet, ii, 31. Phyllodia linear-oblong or linear-spathulate, often 
very narrow, but coriaceous and obtuse, scarcely veined besides the 3 to 5 rather prominent parallel nerves, 
mostly 1| to 2 inches long, 1 to 3 lines broad. A. mucronata, Willd. Enum. Hort. Ee.nl. Suppl. 68 name 
only); Wendl. Comm. Acac., 46, t. 12; DC. Prod, ii, 454; Bot. Mag. t. 2747 ; Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. i, 110; 
F. Muell. PI. Viet, ii, 31 ; A. dependens A. Cunn. ; Benth. in Hook. Lond. Journ. i, 372. Tasmania, R. Brown ; 
common throughout the island, J. D. Hooker; also in Victoria on sandy heath-ridges near Latrobe River, 
Corner Inlet, &c., F. Mueller. 
Mueller's statement in PI. Viet, is as follows : 
Acacia mucronata Willd. Enum. Suppl. 68 ; Wendl. Comment, t. 12 ; Bot. Mag. t. 2747 ; Benth. 
in Hook. Lond. Journ. i, 372 ; J. Hook. Fl. Tasm. i, 110 ; A. dependens, A. Cunn. accord, to Benth. I.e. 372 ; 
A. dissitiflora, Benth. I.e. 371. On sandy heath-ridges near La Trobe's River, also near Corner Inlet. 
Not uncommon in New South Wales and Tasmania. Phyllodia smaller and especially narrowerthan those 
of A. longifolia, sometimes almost linear, 1-3 inches long, 2-5 lines broad, rather stiff, generally less 
distinctly veined ; their gland obliterated ; spikes often short-pedunculate with generally more dissite 
flowers ; the rachis often and sometimes also the phyllodia short-downy. 
(2) var. dissitiflora Benth. ' Phyllodia often very long and narrow as in A. linearis, but rather more 
coriaceous, with 1 or 2 nerves parallel to the principal one, and continued nearly the whole length of the 
leaf, connecting in some measure the var. mucronata with A. linearis.- A. dissitiflora Benth. in Hook. Lond. 
Journ. i, 371.' N. coast of Tasmania. 

Hooker, Fl. Tas. i, 110, states the position as regards mucronata and dissitiflora 
which are inextricably involved, as follows : 
A. mucronata Willd. 
var. a with rather narrow, linear spathulate phyllodes, obtuse, and usually 3 nerved A. 
mucronata, Wendl. Dm. t. 12, Bot. Mag. t. 2747 ; Benth. in Lond. Journ. Bot. i, 372 (Gunn, 
130). 
var. p dependens. Phyllodes as in a, but broader and multiveined. (A. dependens A. Cunn. 
MS. Benth., I.e.) (Gunn, 202, 480, 678.) 
var. y dissitiflora. Phyllodes long, linear-lanceolate, 3-5 nerved at the base. (A. dissitiflora 
Benth., I.e.) (Gunn, 130 in part, also 802.) 
Rod way (Tasmanian Flora, 42) accepts A. mucronata Willd. as a species, and 
omits reference to dissitiflora, probably including it within mucronata. 
He accepts A. sophorce R.Br. (? Labill.) as a Tasmanian species, and eliminateg 
A. longifolia Willd. from the flora of that State.
