scabrous. The fine leaflets are sometimes tipped with liairs. I find the number of 
glands an uncertain character. Its young tips are decidedly and more extensively 
golden than var. mollis. The young pods are also yellowish.

Bark. —A specimen of bark from Port Stephens, N.S.W., stripped in 
December, yielded 31’75 per cent, of tannic acid, and 51'55 per cent, of extract. 
A sample from Bateman’s Bay, N.S.W., stripped in February, from trees 30 
feet high, and up to 15 inches in diameter, gave the result of 27 per cent, of tannic 
acid, and 5345 per cent, of extract. 
Habitat. —So far as our specimens are concerned, it may be looked upon as a 
northern New South Wales and southern Queensland form. That is to say, it hardly 
comes south of Sydney. 
It also extends to the table-land. Specific localities are :—Gosford, Port 
Stephens, Booral, Stewart’s Brook, Brushy Mountain, Gloucester, Taree, Hastings 
Biver, Upper Hastings Biver, Bellingen, Bolivia, Wallangarra, Bous (Bichmond 
Biver); Acacia Creek, Macpherson Bange. 
Under var. mollis , Benth., (B.F1. ii, 415) has the note “ Some of Beckler’s 
specimens from Warwick (Queensland) have the numerous glands of this form with 
the very small leaflets of the following ( pauciglandulosa ).” 
I have a specimen of Beckler’s before me, also Narrabri, on sand-ridges; 
Woolooma Mountain, Belltrees, Scone. They seem to me nearest to var. 
pauciglandulosa, and are evidence of the statement I have previously made that 
vars. mollis and pauciglandulosa run into eacli other.
