I have seen four specimens attributed to this species, but all seem to be A . rigens 
as far as the material goes. One specimen from the Melbourne Herbarium labelled 
A . chordophyUa F.v.M., Port Lincoln (no collector nor date named, but probably Williclmi, 
about 1859), has terete curved phyllodes up to 6 inches long with the usual long peduncle, 
and were it not for this latter character the specimen would be referable to var. 
longifolia Bth. 
Leaves (Phyllodes). There is a tendency in the phyllodes to be flattish, even 
in those very narrow. 
Size. It is a shrub or small tree, scarcely large enough to produce timber in 
the ordinary sense of the word. 
Habitat. The type came from Campbell's Cataract, Lachlan River, New South 
Wales, in the south-west of the State. As I could not find the Cataract, I appealed to 
Mr. R. H. Cambage, who replied : " From the record you quote I should say the locality 
where Cunningham found it might be read : ' probably on the south side of the Lachlan 
in the Lake Cargelligo district,' I notice that near there Oxley mentions Campbell's 
Lake (23-7-1817) and speaks of Acacias, Dodonceas, &c. A. rigens occurs around 
Wyalong, also Dodonceas. This is the best I can do. I can find nothing about Camp- 
bell's Cataract. The flora.from Wyalong towards Lake Cargelligo is very similar." 
It is found in the drier parts of New South Wales generally, to and beyond the 
Darling and Murray, and in the north-western part of Victoria. In South Australia 
it extends to Spencer's Gulf and beyond. 
New South Wales. Following are some specimens in the National Herbarium,
