Notes
Photographs of Holotype in the Herbarium Willd. at Berlin. NB: Fragment published by J.P. M. Brenan in Kew Bull. 11: 195 , 1956 says: The authorities at Berlin, to whom I am very grateful, have kindly sent a photograph of the type-specimen in the Willdenow Herbarium of Acacia polyacantha Willd., together with some actual detached leaflets and flowers ; these leave no doubt that Acacia suma and A. polyacantha are conspecific, and as the latter name is earlier than Mimosa suma it must be adopted.
