Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson separated out many of those species and renamed them into the new genera of Gymnostoma in 1980 and 1982, [3] [4] Allocasuarina in 1982, [4] and Ceuthostoma in 1988, with some additional formal descriptions of new species in each other genus. [5] At the time, it was somewhat controversial.
The genera Allocasuarina was created out of a grouping of plants formerly placed in Casuarina, because of subtle but consistent differences – Casuarina species have 6 to 20 scale-like teeth in each whorl of leaves, their samaras are grey or yellowish-brown, and the bracteoles of the fruiting cones are thin, woody and extend well beyond the ...

It is a dioecious shrub that has branchlets up to 190 mm (7.5 in) long, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of seven to nine or ten, the fruiting cones 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) long containing winged seeds 4.0–5.5 mm (0.16–0. ...

Allocasuarina striata, commonly known as the small bull oak, [1] stalked oak-bush [2] or the tall oak-bush, is a shrub of the genus Allocasuarina native to South Australia. [ 3 ] Description
Allocasuarina simulans is a dioecious, rarely a monoecious shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) and mainly has smooth bark. Its branchlets are up to 190 mm (7.5 in) long, the leaves reduced to erect, often overlapping, scale-like teeth 0.5–1.1 mm (0.02–0.04 in) long, arranged in whorls of six around the branchlets.
Allocasuarina hystricosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a dioecious shrub with more or less erect branchlets, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of ten to twelve, the fruiting cones 13–30 mm (0.51–1.18 in) long containing winged seeds (samaras) 4.5–9 mm (0.18–0.35 in) long.
