  • Text: "Without seeing the type and because the description is very brief I cannot determine with certainty the taxon that Mueller described here. Index Kewensis 1: 6 (1893) gives the reference Acacia 'argyrophylla, Hook. ex F. Muell. Pl. Vict. ii. 18.', which was presumably copied from G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 2: 373 (1864). Examination of Mueller's description in Pl. Victoria 2: 18 (1863) shows that he confounded A. argyrophylla Hook. and A. brachybotrya Benth. there."
