Acacia of Tasmania. 13 
1-2-pollieares. Petala per anthesin ssepius libera.—Port Jackson, 
Sieber, n. 451, etc. 
Var. Tasmanica, pbyllodiis rigidioribus, spicis abbreviatis. V. 
Diemen’s Land, Gunn, n. 677. 
I have only found this species in one limited spot at Circular 
Head, where it did not exceed three to four feet in height, 
flowering in October. It flowered very sparingly, and I did not 
find it in fruit. In habit it more closely resembles A. suaveolens 
than any other Tasmanian species.

Pliyllodia quam in priore obtusiora, rigidiora, pleraque 3-4-pollicaria ; 
latiora, longiora, et tenuiora quam in A. mucronata. Spicae et (lores 
A. 'floribundce. Legumina longa subtorulosa.—V. Diemen’s Land, 
Gunn, n. 802. This and the four following species, however different 
in their extreme forms, run much into one another, and are difficult to 
define with precision. 
This forms a tall shrub or small tree, fifteen to twenty feet high, 
on the outskirts of a dense forest of Fagus Cunninghami, near 
Circular Head ; and I believe the same species occurs from Lake 
St. Clair, towards Macquarie Harbour; but, as I did not observe 
it either in flower or fruit at the latter station, I am uncertain. 
A. dissitiflora grows in a wet siliceous soil, flowering in October. 
It approaches very closely in general appearance and habit to 
A. mucronata.
