• APC Comment: There have been suggestions that A. scalpelliformis is a hybrid between A. urophylla and A. divergens (Maslin in Flora of Australia 11A, 2001). Acacia smilacifolia var. glaberrima Hook. ex Planch. was not mentioned in Fl. of Australia. It seems to be based on a cultivated plant in Europe.
