Common names are cedar wattle (also used of Acacia elata), elata wattle, mountain hickory (also used of Acacia obliquinervia) and peppermint-tree wattle.
Four subspecies have been recognised, although there are additional hybrids, especially around Sydney:

A. terminalis subsp. terminalis: listed as an endangered species under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
