Aeaeia armata . (Mimosaceae), 48035. Kangaroo thorn. 
From Tangier, Morocco. Seeds presented by M. Jules 
Goffart, Societe d ' Horti culture de Tanger. This sim- 
ple-leaved, prickly acacia has a shrubby stem, 10 to 
20 feet high, with graceful branches which are leafy 
to the tip. The long stamens give a soft fluffy ap- 
pearance to the heads of opened flowers, which are 
borne on axillary peduncles longer than the leaves. 
This plant is much grown for hedges, though less man- 
ageable than various other hedge-plants and not so 
fire proof; it is more important for covering coast 
sand with an unapproachable prickly vegetation. The 
wood is small, but beautifully grained, sound and 
durable. Native in southern Australia. (Adapted

Acacia elongata (Mimosaceae), 48042. From Tangier, 
Morocco. Seeds presented by M. Jules Goffart, Societe 
d 'Horticulture de Tanger. This slender curved- leaved 
acacia is a graceful species abundant on the Blue 
Mountains of New South Wales. It has drooping, angu- 
lar branches, and the younger ones are green and gla- 
brous. The phyllodia are long and linear and bear 
clusters of peduncled, globose heads of yellow flowers 
in their axils. These clusters, which so profusely 
cover the leafy branches, even to the tips, make this 
a remarkably ornamental plant. It 1 s especially suita- 
ble for damp sandy land . (Adapted from Curtis's Botan- 
ical Magazine, pi. 3337.) 
Acacia homalophylla (Mimosaceae), 48045. From Tan-
