(«) was introduced by Sir Joseph Banks in 1790; but 
we are not informed concerning the date of the introduction 
of (@). The drawing was taken from a sample sent from 
Lord Bridgewater's collection in February last. We should 
have thought that the Acacia mollissima of Willdenow’s 
Enumeratio Horti Berolinensis was intended for this plant, 
had not the leaflets in that been described as 11-15-paired. 
Requires the protection of the greenhouse, and is well 
adapted to the conservatory. Far from common in our col- 
lections. 
Younger branches angular, grey-furred. Leaves doubly 
pinnate, very soft, cinereously glaucous, somewhere about 
six inches long and about three in breadth: partial ones 
11-15-18-paired; leaflets many-(40-60) paired, small, ob- 
longly linear, scarcely two lines in length, narrow, ob- 
tuse, touching each other: general petiole white-furred, 
round, at the upper side having a prominent glanduli- 
ferous ridge running along its whole length, with a round- 
ish perforated gland between the bases of each pair of 
partial footstalks. Spikelet-bearing racemes axillary and 
simple or terminal and panicled; peduncle flexuose, grey- 
furred; spikelets globular, numerous (20-30), yellow, about 
as big as a pea, placed rather distantly; pedicles about the 
length of the diameter of the spikelet, pale yellow: bractes 
single, minute, membranous, subovate, convex, villous, 
many times shorter than the pedicle against which they are 
closely pressed. The flowers diffuse a bitterish but not un- 
pleasant scent.

NOTE. 
In the first page of fol. 361 (Acacta lophanta), from the words “« What 
are termed, &c. &c.’’ belongs to the subsequent article (fol. 362, Acacia 
longifolia), and has been accidentally misplaced.
