1. Hairy pod. 



2. Peduncles with few or scattered hairs. 



3. Laminae of bracteoles rhomboid or foliaceous. 



4. Phyllodes with two main nerves. 



Contrasting with A. ixiophylla Benth., we have in the 

 latter: — 



1. Smooth, narrower pods. 



2. Peduncles with short, dense tomentum. 



3. Laminae of bracteoles capitate (like the head of a 



nail, i.e., with not much lateral expansion). 



4. Phyllodes with three or more nerves, anastomosing 



more than in A. montana.

 Herbarium of New South Wales : —
