Abruptly pinnate (in a few cases anopposite pair appeared), petiole 3 to 5 mm., glabrous, some-times with a small gland; leaflets three to four pairs, oblong-acuminate, 4 to 6 mm. long, 1 to 2 mm. broad, uppersidegreen, underside paler; rachis 6 to 8 mm., with terminalseta. No. 2. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 8 mm. to 1*6 cm.,gland on upper margin, with terminal seta; leaflets threeto four pairs, oblong-acuminate, apical pair often cuneate,3 to 5 mm. long, 1 to 3 mm. broad; rachis 8 mm. to 1*2 cm.,with terminal seta.

Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 1*2 to 1*7 cm.,with marginal gland; leaflets four to seven pairs, similarto those of No. 2; rachis 9 mm. to 2*1 cm.; stipules reducedto scales. One No. 3 leaf was abnormal, having three pairs of leaf-lets, irregularly pinnate, but although bipinnate there wasno terminal seta on the petiole, and above the middle of thepetiole were a pair of large leaflets, one being 8 mm. longand 3 mm. broad. Nos. 5 and 6. Usually abruptly bipinnate, (though No. 6may sometimes be a phyllode), petiole 14 to 5*4 cm. long,from 1 mm. to 1*7 cm. broad, with marginal gland, andwith a strong nerve along or near the base, the uppermargin nerve-like, the lamina penninerved; leaflets six tonine pairs, rachis 1*5 to 2*7 cm. In one case leaf No. 6 had two pairs of pinnae. Nos. 7 to 10. Lanceolate-falcate phyllodes,
