The Queensland material which has generally 
been known as A. villosa is closely related but 
clearly distinct from the Blume species (here 
referred to A. spectabilis ) . Mueller did not 
accept it without reservation as identical with 
A. villosa; its distinctive character was first 
noted by Koorders and Valeton (1894: 123). 
Type of A. Muelleriana var. parvifolia . — 
"Savannenwalder am Waterfall Creek bei 
Yarraba (Domin I. 1910).” The smaller leaves 
("5-8 cm. longis et 1.5-2 cm. latis”) which 
characterize this variety are not diagnostic.
