Botanical Name. — Acacia, already explained (see Part XV, p. 104); 
aduura , Latin, hooked, in allusion to the tips of the phyllodes. Sometimes the 
tips or mucrones are markedly bent at an angle with the phyllodes, hut not always 
so, and so the character must be used with caution. 
Yernacnlar Name.—I know of none. 
Synonyms. — A. crassiuscula, Benth. non Wendl. ( B.Fl . ii, 372). 
Size. —A tall shrub, never attaining timber size. 
Habitat .—This species is commonest in the northern half of New South 
Wales, and extends to Queensland, only just over the border from Wallangarra, 
so far as we know at present. Its southernmost locality is Yerranderie, near 
Burragorang. 
The Mount Dangar, Denman, Upper Hunter, and Goulburn River localities 
are in the same district. Going west, we have it in the Warrumbungles, and going 
north we find it in New England at Torrington and Wallangarra. 
Following are specific localities :— 
A large shrub frequently noticed in the broken country investing Mount 
Dangar. (Allan Cunningham, August, 1827.) 
A much smaller tree than A. neriifolia and less floriferous in habit, growing 
amongst rocks at high altitudes in one locality only (seen more widely distributed 
later.—J.II.M.), Mount Dangar, Gungal. Type locality ! (J. L. Boorman, October, 
l‘J04.) 
A tall shrub of 8-20 feet, pendulous in general habit, variable in respect to 
foliage, having at times in certain localities leaves fully a quarter of an inch broad 
and 6 inches to a foot long. Mount Dangar, Gungal. (J. L. Boorman, December, 
1908.) 
Denman (11. H. Cambage, No. 1,650, July, 1907); Upper Hunter River 
(L. Stephenson, December, 1886) ; Murrumbo, Goulburn River (R. T. Baker, 
September, 1895); Warrumbungle Ranges ( W. Forsyth, October, 1901). 
10-12 feet high, on acid granite, Torrington (R. II. Cambage, July, 1907 ; 
No. 1,622, in flower). Reddish-brown stems ; stems of A. neriifolia are grey (IL II. 
Cambage, September, 1907; No. 1,622a, in early fruit); Torrington (J. L. Boorman, 
January, 1911, in flower and ripe fruit) ; Wallangarra (E. Betche, December, 
1891, in flower); Wallangarra (J. L. Boorman, November, 1901, in fruit; 
January, 1906, in flower). 
Following is the only locality south of Sydney known to me : — 
Byrne’s Gap, Yerranderie; a shrub of 6-8 feet, on Permo-Carboniferous formation 
(R. II. Cambage). In this plant the calyx has a distinct line running down the 
middle, and while not typical, I think it cannot be separated from this species.
