Acacia tessellata, A. cangaiensis and A. dangarensis (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae), Three new species from northern New South Wales, Australia

Abstract

Three new species of Acacia from northern New South Wales are described, mapped and illustrated. Acacia tessellata is a member of sect. Plurinerves, whereas A. cangaiensis and A. dangarensis belong to sect. Botiycephalae. Their affinities are discussed. All three species have restricted distributions and should be considered in the management of the forests in which they occur.
