Of the six possible syntypes identified above, three possible syntypes were likely to be available to Mueller at the time of description, but cannot be verified as original material. One syntype is referable to a different taxon than the majority, namely E. pubescens . Of the remaining two specimens, the more complete specimen was selected as lectotype.</p><p>The lectotype bears a label with the name ‘ Laboucheria chlorostachys Ferd.

The excellent lithograph from that work is reproduced here to illustrate the new species.

Fruiting mostly recorded for April–August.</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The epithet is from the Latin pubescens (with short, soft hairs), in reference to the presence of hairs on most parts at least when young, diagnostically always present on the raceme axis and outer surfaces of the calyx.</p><p>Notes</p><p>The following combination of characters is diagnostic: tree 8–20 m tall, many-branched with a spreading canopy, branchlets pubescent when young; leaves with pinnae usually in 2 or 3 pairs; leaflets mostly 5–11 per pinna, attenuate, distinctly asymmetric, with scattered hairs basally and on the petiolules; petiolules 1.5–4 mm long; raceme axis moderately to densely pubescent; calyx 1.9–2.5 mm long; lobes 0.5–0.9 mm long, pubescent on surface and margins; flowers sessile; stipe of pod 8–10 mm long.</p><p>Although the majority of the syntypes represent the taxon here recognised as E. chlorostachys sensu stricto, the mostused concept in the literature, and apparently the main source for Mueller’s original description and his illustration in Iconogr. Austral. Acacia 13: t. 9 (1888) is the taxon described here as E. pubescens .</p><p>Resprout foliage of E. pubescens is large, similar in size to that of E. arenarium, but it can be separated by the presence of scattered to dense hairs on the branchlets, petioles and petiolules. Juvenile pinnae also remain distinctly asymmetric in most cases, although not always as distinctly as the adult pinnae.</p><p>Widely known as Cooktown ironwood under the name E. chlorostachys, a species that is not known to occur near Cooktown; so, this common name must logically be transferred to E. pubescens, or its use discontinued. There are many First Nations names, which may also include E. chlorostachys, as detailed in Table 1.</p><p>The most useful characters for distinguishing the three species are presented in Table 3.</p><p>Representative specimens</p><p>WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
