Do you think it might not be falciformis because of the grey furry branches, which could become hairless anyway if it was a bit older? Vicflora is very definite that the venation shown in your photos is diagnostic of falciformis Penninervis has a similar indentation but the lesf shape is very different.

Yep, I'd be happy to confirm this as A. falciformis, if I was allowed, though the furriness is certainly a slight worry. Branchlets all look glabrous in my photos of this species, although the rachis of the inflorescence is a little bit shortly hairy. Are they actually hairy, or waxy? In the second photo they look waxy, which is good for falciformis.

I said furry because they felt so smooth but probably waxy is right.
