6. " This Acacia differs from all others encountered in the west being of upright 
habit with almost terete leaves." (By this Mr. Abrahams indicates that it is rare in 
the district.) Amphitheatre, Cobar (L. Abrahams). 
7. Flowers glabrous or minutely pubescent, petals not recurved, calyx very 
short, irregularly divided to the base and delicately fringed. Pistil with a very fine, 
close tomentum. Pods flattish, but one or two long and terete. Arillus with a little 
ridge, funicle not curved. Pod as otherwise described as Victorian Expedition 
specimens. (No. 1.) Cobar (Archdeacon Haviland, October, 1911). Petals united 
more than half way, glabrous and inclined to be recurved., of coarse texture, 5-merous. 
Sepals narrow, wider at the tip, a few hairs extending right up. Pistil hairy. 
See Archdeacon Haviland's paper in Proc. Linn. Sac. N.S.W., xxxvi, 520 
(1911), where this plant is referred to as A. cibaria, and the pods are described as 
"cylindrical" and "an inch and a quarter long" (shorter than the West Australian 
specimens). It is called " Umbrella Mulga." 
8. " Umbrella Mulga," Pods mostly short and flattish, but not ripe. Tindayrey, 
Cobar (L. V. d'Apice, L.S.). 
9. " Narrow-leaved Mulga." Coolabah. (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman.) 
10. " Narrow-leaved Mulga." Ivanhoe, via Hay. (K. H. Bennett, No. 2.) 
South Australia. Not quite typical. Mirra Mitta Cfeek, Cooper's Greek district. 
(Captain S. A. White, through J. M. Black) ; Peake River (B. C. Kempe). 
Pods mostly flat, but not ripe. One or two unripe seeds show the shape and 
position of the seed both like the type. Mount Lyndhurst (Max Koch, by whom it 
was labelled A. dbaria). 
11. Phyllodes nearly terete and minutely hoary. Pod nearly cylindrical, and 
hence showing considerable approach to Fitzgerald's A. ramulosa and my Laverton, 
W.A., specimens of that species. Mount Gunson Mine, 90 miles north-west of Port 
Augusta (Mrs. Beckwifch, comm. J. M. Black, No. 7). 
A. ramulosa W. V. Fitzgerald. 
Journ. W. A. Nat. Hist. Soc. No. 1, p. 15, May, 1904). 
Following is the original : 
An erect much-branched shrub of 6-10 feet in height, more or less minutely hoary, branchlets 
angular. Phyllodia long-linear, with straight or slightly curved callous points, rigid, thick but flat, 
4-6 inches long, the numerous fine parallel nerves hardly conspicuous. Peduncles solitary or in pairs, 
5-9 lines long. Flowers not seen, but from the scars remaining were in spikes of inch in length. Pod 
linear-cylindrical mostly 4-6 inches long, hardly or not at all contracted between the seeds, the valves 
striate, finely tomentose. Seeds longitudinal, oblong, shining dark-brown; funicle shori, expanding 
into a null, somewhat oupular, pale-coloured basilar arillus.
