I do not believe that File:Acacia vestita.jpg is this species because:

  • The phyllodes of Acacia vestita have 1 main nerve per face (and lateral nerves indistinct) on the phyllodes.[1], wheras in the photo there appear to be three main nerves
  • Acacia vestita has flowerheads in long racemes[2], i.e. it has a branching structure of flowerheads (without leaves) that comes out from the phyllode axils.[3] In the photo the flowerheads are axillary, i.e. the individual flowerheads on stalks arising from the same point on the stem that the phyllodes arise from. --Melburnian (talk) 09:11, 16 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
