Acacia acinacea, Lindl. (A. Latrobei, Meisn.). A much-branched shrub: phyll. obliquely oblong, 1/2-3/4in. long, 1/4-1/2in. wide, obtuse, with a recurved point; gland one-third distance from base: fls. in pairs (rarely solitary), 5-merous; calyx spathulate, ciliate, half as long as petals; petals united; peduncles 1/2-3/4in. long: pod twisted or curved, 1/6in. wide, more or less constricted between the seeds; seed longitudinal; funicle not so long as seed and thickened into fleshy clavate aril. Fls. March. F. v. M. Icon. 4:7.—F. v. Mueller proposed to unite this with the broad-lvd. A. obliqua, since the only difference between them seems to be based upon shape of phyll. This group should be given further study to determine whether transition stages may be found between the narrow and the round forms and whether the supposed distinction of straight pods in A. acinacea can be traced into the curled pods of A. obliqua.
