Vernacular Names. It is one of the Wattles known as " Nealie," and, to 
distinguish it from others bearing the same designation, I propose the name " Medium- 
leaved Nealie." 
Leaves (Pliyllodes). The phyllodes are often attacked by flattened galls 
which give them a knotted appearance. Mr. Froggatt informs me that they are 
apparently the work of a hymenopterous insect (a Chalcid wasp). Similar galls are 
to be found in other Wattles (e.g., the Western Australian A. triptychaj. 
Timber. Deep brown, but only available for local uses, on account of its 
small size. 
Habitat. So far as we know at present it is confined to New South Wales, and 
mainly to the Broken Hill district, but so close to the South Australian border that it is 
impossible for it not to occur in the latter State.
