Acacia leiocalyx (Leguminosae)

Line engraving by Daniel MacKenzie, after Sydney Parkinson (1770) and Frederick

Joseph Banks and his party saw this species at:
Bustard Bay, Australia (22 May - 24 May 1770)
Botany Bay, Australia (28 April - 6 May 1770)

This subspecies is restricted to the Hervey Bay area of Queensland and it was
only the chance anchoring of the Endeavour here that led Parkinson to sketch the
plant in 1770. It was not recognised as distinct until 1978.
