No more decades of Iconography of Australian species of Acacia and cognate genera were issued after Decade 13, which was ready for distribution in August 1888 (B88.13.01). The library, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, holds a number of additional drawings of Acaciae prepared for M that were not published, but no drawing of A. bivenosa has been found.
