During the meeting of the Linnean Society of NSW held on 29 June 1892, ' Mr. Maiden exhibited, for Baron von Mueller, flowering and fruiting specimens of a new species of Acacia allied to A. glaucescens , Wild. Up to the present it has been found on the Richmond River and about Port Stephens. It will be described at the next meeting' ( Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales , vol. 7, p. 314, 1892). The paper, B93.09.06, was read on 27 July 1892 but, along with two other papers read at that meeting, was held over and published in the Macleay Memorial Volume of the Society (Fletcher, 1893).
