Colonial Botanist. 
Order LEGUMINOSA. 
ACACIA, Wild. 
A. Chisholmi, Bail. (n. sp.) Plant very resinous, branches slightly pubescent, 
and more or less corrugated. Phyllodia linear about 1 in. long and scarcely 
exceeding 4-line broad, apiculate, often somewhat falcate, slightly hairy. 
Spikes erect, rather slender, about 4 or 5 lines long, upon a slender peduncle 
of an equal length. Flowers crowded, 5-merous. Sepals small, hyaline, only 
connate near the base. Petals twice as long as the sepals, free almost to the 
base, colour a deep-yellow. Stamens numerous; filaments flexuose, slender. 
Ovary scaly, style flexuose, exceeding the stamens. Pod linear, slightly curved, 
about 2% in. long and 3 lines broad, tapering at the base to a stipes of 3 lines, 
margins thick, apex obtuse, veins anastomosing longitudinally, but often more 
or less hidden by the copious flow of resinous gum. Seeds obliquely transverse, 
oval, the central depression rather deep, nearly annular and minutely tuber- 
cular; funicle with 2 or 3 folds, thickened under the seed into an irregular 
cup-shaped aril. This species closely approaches A. linarioides, Benth. 
Hab.: Prairie, Torrens Creek, Northern Railway Line, Mr. W. R. Chisholm. The 
specimens of this new species were kindly handed over to me for describing by Mr. J. H. 
Maiden, the Government Botanist of New South Wales, on account of the plant belonging 
to Queensland. 
Order AMARYLLIDEA.

C, brisbanicum, Bazi. (n. sp.) Bulb about 14 in. dianieter, not produced into 
acollum. Leaves 5 or 6 to each plant, linear, substance rather thick, the 
margins very slightly rough, about 18 in. long and about 4-in. broad, of a deep 
bright-green. Scape about 1d in. high, compressed-cylindric, scarcely exceeding 
in. diameter at the base. Flowers in umbel about 10, the 2 large involucral 
bracts 2 or 3 in. long, the interior ones (bracteoles) thread-like. Pedicels 
about 6 or 7 lines, ovary 8 lines long. Perianth-tubes slender, greenish, 3 in. 
long. Segments lanceolate, 2} in. long, 3-in. broad, white, with more or less 
greenish subulate points, those on the outer segments the longest. Stamens 
about half the length of the segments, those opposite the outer segments 
shorter than the other three; filaments deep-pink. Anthers 2} in. long. 
Style coloured like the filaments and shortly exceeding them. Buds pinkish 
outside and pendulous before opening. Flowers fragrant, erect. 
Hab. : Sandy land near the coast, Brisbane River. 
C. pedunculatum, 2. Br. Stems several to a plant, thick, often 5 or 6 in. 
diameter, from 1 to over 2 ft. high, leafy in the upper half. Leaves usually 
about 15 to astem, glaucous, thick, 3 or 4 ft. long, and over 4 in. broad above 
the centre, and slightly tapering to somewhat obtuse points; the longitudinal
