A. terminalis subsp. aurea
A. terminalis subsp. longiaxialis
A. terminalis subsp. terminalis: listed as an Endangered Species under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.[3][4] It is rare and confined to the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, between Cronulla and Manly.[4] It differs from the other forms of the species in being hairier, and having thicker peduncles and wider seed pods.[4]
