SIMILAR PLANTS:

There are two subspecies of Acacia Deanei with intermediates between them:
- Subsp. deanei, has leaflets 2–4 mm long and occurs more in the northern half of NSW.
- Subsp. paucijuga, with leaflets 4–11 mm long, and pods more tightly constricted between the seeds, has a more southerly distribution.
Acacia Leucolada - Northern Silver Wattle - is similar when young, but develops into a larger tree with more silvery foliage.
