SYNONYMY
Notes. "In the protologue of Acacia arrophula, a single collection was cited by Don (1824 (Dec.) ‘18250), namely, 'Sirinagur. Kamroop'. Today Sirinagur is called Srinagar and is located in Uttarakhand State of northern India, bordering Nepal (C.R. Fraser-Jenkins, pers. comm.); Kamroop (Kamrup) was a botanical collector employed by Nathaniel Wallich (Fraser-Jenkins, 2006). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1976), the types of taxa described by David Don in Prodromus florae nepalensis are at BM and LINN; however, there is no Sirinagur, Kamroop specimen of A. arrophula in either of those herbaria (Jacek Wajer and Mark Spencer, pers. comm. April 2016), and we located none elsewhere. The type is therefore regarded as lost and a neotype is needed. Accordingly, Wallich Numer. List no. 5257 is chosen above as neotype. This is an appropriate choice because hitherto this collection had been treated as the holotype of A. arrophula by Nielsen (1980, 1981) and Chakrabarty and Gangopadhyay (1996). This appears to have had its origins with Baker (1878) who listed only this collection when reducing Don's species to a variety of A. pennata.".
