Notes. As noted by Orchard & Maslin (2003) the former type of the genus Acacia is generally considered to be A. scorpioides (L.) W. F. Wight selected by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U.S., ed. 2, 2: 330. 1913 as "Mimosa scorpioides L.") (cf. Index Nominum Genericorum - http://rathbun.si.edu/botany/ing/ingForm.cfm), and endorsed by Abrams (Ill. Fl. Pacific States 2: 475. 1944) and Pedley (in Austrobaileya 1: 81. 1978). This type has now been replaced by Acacia penninervis (see McNeill & Turland 2011: 1496).
