Notes on the 
A species very common on the margins of the South E^k 
River and streams in the vicinity of Launceston, where it seldom 
exceeds ten to twelve feet in height, and flowers in September. 
Grows erect, much branched. 
17. A. dependent (Cunn. MSS.), glabra v. junior pubescens, ramulig 
vix angulatis, pbyllodiis anguste oblongis v. late lineari-spatbulatig 
obtusis submucronatis basi angustatis coriaceia raultinerviis vix reticq- 
latis, spicis interruptis pliyllodio brevioribua, calyce brevi dentato, legq. 
mine anguste lineari subtereti.—Ab A. mucronata, cujus forte mei-a 
varietas, differt prseeipue phyllodiis latioribus, ab A. Sojihorie pbyllodiis 
angustioribus raro anostomosantibue.—V. Diemen’s Land, Cunning¬ 
ham, Gunn , n. 202, 480, 678. 
Very common at Woolnorth, the extreme north-western point 
of Van Diemen’s Land, where, associated with various Myrtaccn >, 
Epacrideee, &c., it covers an extensive tract of quartz-rock for¬ 
mation. Its height being usually six to eight feet, often less, and 
flowering in October. 
18. A. Sophoree (Br. in Hort. Kew, ed. 3, v. 462), glabra v. junior 
puberula, ramulis angulatis, phyllodiis obovato-oblongis obtusis calloso- 
mucronatis basi cuneatis coriaceis 3-5-nerviis reticulato-venosis, spiel’s 
interruptis pliyllodio brevioribus, calyce brevi dentato, legumine an¬ 
guste lineari subtereti arcuato.—Labill. Nov. Holl. t. 237.—Bot. Cab. 
t. 1351.—Ramuli crassiores quam in prrecedentibus. Pbyllodia plera- 
que bipollicaria, 8-12 lin. lata, interdum vero occurrunt formra pbyllo¬ 
diis longioribus fere A. longifoliee. Calyx paullo major quam in 
afBnibus. Legumen valde arcuatum, nec ut in afEnibus rectum.—V. 
Diemen’s Land, Lahillardihre, Gunn, n. 675, and apparently the same 
species in fruit from Moreton Bay, Cunningham. 
Boobyalla of the aborigines. Very distinct from the three pre¬ 
ceding species, although associated with them by Mr. Bentham ; 
dried specimens not affording to the British botanist the peculia¬ 
rities of growth, &c., which would widely separate it from all the 
others. A. Sophoree grows only on the sea shore, or in its imme¬ 
diate vicinity, where it forms almost impenetrable thickets. When 
exposed to the violence of the sea gales, its height seldom exceeds 
six to nine feet, but the branches lie along the sand for several 
yards. When sheltered behind the sand hills it forms most
