MASLIN, B.R. AND MCDONALD, M.W.
Acacia thomsonii Maslin & M.W. McDonald, a new species with seed that has potential as a human food resource, is described and illustrated. It is discontinuous within the tropical dry zone of Australia, extending from northeast Western Australia, through Northern Territory to northwest Queensland. In the past A. thomsonii was confused with A. cowleana Tate but is most closely allied to A. colei Maslin & L.A.J. Thomson.
