Acacia caleyi A.Cunn. ex Benth., London J. Bot. 1: 347 (1842)
Name Status. Non-Current Name
Name Type. Heterotypic synonym Source. WorldWideWattle
Infra-generic Classification. Section Acacia (syn. Section Phyllodineae)
Accepted Name. Acacia decora Rchb.
Notes. Acacia caleyi was treated as a distinct species by B.R. Maslin, Flora of Australia 11A: 305 (2001), but Maslin now considers that it is best treated as a variant within A. decora. Plants referred to A. caleyi are found near Griffith, New South Wales, and are characterised primarily by the ±spreading, often curved or crisped hairs on their branchlets, phyllodes, raceme axes and often peduncles. Elsewhere in A. decora the raceme axes and peduncles have ±straight, closely appressed hairs; the phyllodes and branchlets are normally glabrous but if hairs are present (mainly Victorian populations) they are closely appressed. (See Flora of Australia Online under A. decora.).
