pretty sure it is not A. decurrens - no "wings"

The pinnules look to be too long for dealbata

Could be a hybrid. Not dealbata and doesn't quite look right for decurrens either.

Yes a hybrid and I think silver - cootamunda cross is mot likely

Potentially, the greenish colouration and pattern make me think parentage may also involve A. decurrens

If i'm honest I don't really see why we are assuming this must be a hybrid, I guess this could be A dealbata x decurrens or A. parramattensis x decurrens but if it is then the A.decurrens parentage is pretty dominant. I'm not seeing A.baileyana in this plant, so would agree with Luke that we should consider A.decurrens (both as a hybrid parent and as a species).
