E. Phyllodes triangular, or tending so, seeds without aril, branches downy. 
Acacia vomeriformis. 
D. Phyllodes pliable, not rigid. 
E. Flower heads pedunculate, solitary, twin, or clustered. 
F. Stipules spiny. 
G. Phyllodes not greater than 1 cm. long, seeds longitudinal. 
Acacia armata. 
* G. Phyllodes 2 - 5 cms. long, seeds transverse. 
Acacia Victoriae. 
F. Stipules not spiny 
G. Phyllodes definitely lanceolate, 4-10 cms. long, viscid. 
Acacia dodonaeifolia. 
G. Phyllodes broad linear, 2 - 5 cms. long, not viscid. 
Acacia Victoriae. 
G. Phyllodes orbicular, oblique (not symmetrical about the vein), 
with short point at tip, less than 1^ cms. long. 
Acacia obliqua. 
E. Flower heads in axillary racemes. 
F. Phyllodes obovate, short and broad, stems red. 
Acacia my rti folia. 
F. Phyllodes narrow-linear. 
G. Phyllodes long, 8 - 16 cms., often drooping, pod straight-edged, 
not constricted between the seeds, seed-stalk encircling seed in 
a double fold, flowers rather pale yellow. 
Acacia rhetinodes. 
G. Phyllodes short, 4-10 cms. long, erect or spreading, edge of pod 
wavy, constricted between the seeds, seed stalk folded under, but 
not around the seed, flowers bright yellow. 
Acacia ligulata . 
F. Phyllodes lanceolate, large, thick, more or less curved. 
G. Phyllodes rather oblong, only slightly, or not, curved, very thick. 
Margin very thick with a rolled, vein-like appearance. Seeds 
transverse. Not common. 
Acacia notabilis. 
G. Phyllodes narrower (1 cm. or so), sickle-shaped when mature. 
Margin not thick or rolled, but may have vein-like appearance. 
Vein generally in from edge. Seeds longitudinal. Very common. 
Acacia pycnantha. 
(The younger phyllodes of this species are usually very large 
and thick.) 
* The head of A. Victoriae are often borne in racemes, through the abortion of the 
subtending phyllodes. Such racemes are distinguishable from those of the next group in 
the Key in that the heads are usually on twin peduncles, especially the lower ones.
