Acacia longifolia, Willd. Sydney Golden Wattle. A tall shrub or small tree: phyll. oblong-lanceolate, either acute or obtuse, narrowed to the base, 2-3 in. or even 4-6 in. long and from 1/4-1/2in. wide; 3 or 4 longitudinal nerves, reticulately veined between; gland very near base: fls. in spikes 3/4-2 1/4 in. long, 4-merous: pods l 1/2-3 3/4 in. long or more, about 1/4in. broad, coriaceous, terete until fully ripe when their valves flatten, separate, become dark and curled and persist on the tree; seeds longitudinal, black, fat and shining; funicle silvery, not enfolding seed but bent upon itself several times, dilated and fitted like a cap over one end of the seed; ripe Aug, Sept. Fls. Feb., March.—A valuable ornamental as well as a good tree for narrow streets; also used as a tan for heavy leathers.

Fls. Feb., March. B.R. 362. B.M. 2166. R.H. 1896, p. 504. Wattles and Wattle-barks, p. 51.—A valuable ornamental as well as a good tree for narrow streets; also used as a tan for heavy leathers.

Var. Sophorae, F. v. M. (A. Sophorae, R. Br.). Phyll. shorter, and with rounded apex, 1 1/2-3 1/2in. long, 3/4-1/12in. broad: spikes generally shorter, l-l 1/2in.; blooms later and seed matures later than type. Brown, Fl. of S. Austral.—Under cult, it becomes difficult to distinguish this from the type, but in general its foliage is shorter and more rounded at apex.
