Trichomes From the Foliage of Some Australian Acacias

Abstract

Five types of non-glandular and six types of glandular hair are described from 148 Australian species of Acacia representing all sections of the subgenera Phyllodineae and Acacia which occur in Australia, One hair type was found only on species inhabiting the arid interior. Some tentative links between hair types and the taxonomic sections are established,
