Names
ACACIA Group T [family LEGUMINOSAE-MIMOSOIDEAE]
Information
Bark on branchlets usually pale, green to whitish, or grey, olive or pale brown, and marked with pale dot-like lenticels, occasionally with papery peeling on the old stems. Stipules spinescent; no “ant-galls.” Flower-heads not panicled; involucel normally at or below middle of peduncle. Flowers white, pink, cream or greenish; corolla-lobes ± densely white-pubescent outside. Pods dehiscent, sometimes slowly so, straight or annular, often thick hard and woody, ± densely clothed with very short to rather long hairs, sometimes wing-margined. Seeds not or only slightly compressed, their surface often minutely punctate or wrinkled; areole 3–5 mm. wide. Mostly shrubs, sometimes a small tree.
Notes
(spp. 58–63). A. fischeri, whose pods I have not seen, is provisionally placed after group R (as sp. 56). Its true position is doubtful.
