• Etymology: "The late Mr. J. O'Shanesy sent it from the environs of Wide Bay..."
• Text: "The A. decurrens var. Leichhardtii (Benth. Fl. Austral. II., 415) has, however, to be raised to specific rank, as it is distinct both from A. decurrens and A. pubescens. The late Mr. J. O'Shanesy sent it from the environs of Wide Bay, Queensland, but also in an imperfect state; it has received the name of A. O'Shanesii."
• Comment: nom. nov., non Acacia leichhardtii Benth. (1864).
