Very closely allied to A, hengalensis and perhaps a variety of it, but the hranchlets 

 are puberulous, the stipules broader, the leaves more obscurely serrulate, the flowers on 

 snorter pedicels, that are crowded on stout peduncles, and the petals are more linear.— 

 ^'Obtusa, Korth, and A. Brownlij Korth, come very near to this and A. hengalensis.
