Acacia cultriformis, Cunn. (A. cultrata, Ait.). A tall shrub with gray foliage thickly clothing the branches: phyll. with nerve-like margins, obliquely ovate to almost triangular, 1/2-l in. long, 1/4-1/2in. wide, with gland on upper edge one-third distance from base, the intervening edge straight and closely hugging the branchlets; vein excentric, much curved, ending in mucronate point: racemes axillary, much exceeding the phyll.; fls. 30-40 in a head; sepals half as long as petals; peduncles 1/4in. long: pod a rich brown, with nerve-like margins, 1 1/2-3 in. long, 1/4in. wide, occasionally constricted between the seed; seed oblong, longitudinal; funicle half as long as seed, silvery and enlarged into a cup-shaped aril almost from the beginning; ripe Sept., Oct. Fls. March, Apr. R.H. 1896, p. 503. J.H. III.34:131.—If kept well pruned it makes a good hedge. Has been cult. in Calif, for many years in the open, and is considered a desirable plant.
