  • Chapman, APNI 58 (1991) listed an "Acacia longifolia Paxton, nom. illeg." Paxton, Magazine of Botany 12: 269 (1846) described and illustrated an "Acacia longifolia", but on the basis that it was a species that had been known for about 50 years, and cited as synonyms Mimosa longifolia, M. macrostachya and Acacia floribunda. It is clear that he was merely using the existing name A. longifolia (Andrews) Willd. without citing authorities, and not intending to describe a new taxon.
