I have not seen this plant. It is said to differ from A. pavonina in the form and size of the leaves, 

 and smaller seeds. The dimensions given of the leaflets, however, are the usual ones of A. pavonina.

This is the doubtful species from Gilbert^s River, mentioned in Benth. Fl. Austral, ii. 299 as known only 

 from an imperfect specimen, consisting of a leaf resembling those of A. pavonina^ with detached pods, 

 short and bulky, slightly falcate, with red and white seeds, like those of A. bicolor. It has since been 

 again found during Hann^s Expedition to Cape-York Peninsula; but the specimens sent 



are agam
