It is not rare, and in some places abundant, in the western division of New 
South "Wales, and one would expect to find it in western (at least south-western) 
Queensland. 
It is one of several species of Wattle with more or less acicular phyllodes ; 
these are, on casual examination, confused amongst each other, and with such plants 
(at a distance) as Hakea. 
SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 
Lake (Sillies (S. Burkitt) is where the type came from. 
Lake Gillies is approximately in lat. 33 and long. 137, and its general 
direction is north-east and south-west. Iron Knob is a little to the east of the 
upper part. It is west by south of Port Augusta. 
Iron Knob, near Lake Gillies (W. C. Newbold through J. M. Black). Mr. 
Newbold says" The trees slightly scattered here, but out on the Gawler Ranges, 
40 miles from here, the trees grow in a dense scrub on the foot hills. In places they 
form the chief scrub." 
Mernmerna, about 80 miles north of Port Augusta, on the Great Northern 
Railway Line (W. Gill). 
So that the range of the species in South Australia, so far as we know at 
present, is the Port Augusta district, from Mernmerna to Lake Gillies, thence to 
the Gawler Ranges. 
WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 
Twelve miles north-east of Kanowna (W. V. Fitzgerald). Type of Mr. 
Fitzgerald's A. Sandelliana. 
Coolgardie (L. C. Webster). 
These localities are in what are known in that State as the Eastern Goldlields. 
NEW SOUTH WALES. 
The localities quoted extend from the western boundary (abutting on South 
Australia), and coming as far south-east as the Hay district, and, north of the Hay 
district, as far as Condobolin, which is very nearly in the centre of this State. 
" Nealia," Purnamoota, Barrier Range (C. J. McMaster) ; Broken Hill (A. 
Loder) ; 8-10 feet Tarella, via Wilcannia, No. 90, August, 1887 (W. Baeuerlen) ; 
White Cliffs (E. P. O'Reilly) ; " Bastard Nilyah," White Cliffs (E. P. O'Reilly). 
"Pin Bush," "Blood Bush." All stock eat it, and when they chew the dry 
leaves or pods a blood-coloured liquid forms in their mouths, hence the name. 
Bourke district (A. W. Mullen) ; 20 miles south of Bourke (R. H. Cambage). 
Acacii Burkitlii was found a little west of where the Eremeran Road meets the main road from 
Nymagee to Condobolin, or close to Vermont Hill. It was not seen afterwards, so that this is probably 
about its eastern limit, at least smith of the Hogan ... its extension from about 40 miles north of 
Cobar to about r>ij ruilvs north we -,t of Condobolin. In the "Nynvigee district it is sometimes known as 
" Kangaroo Bush," and " Cherrypk-kera '' was given me as an aboriginal name, but I had no opportunity 
of verifying it. (R. H. Cambage in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1901, p. 322.)
