Acacia arbiana is a species of wattle that is endemic to Queensland.
The wattle grows as a spreading shrub typically to height of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). It has ribbed branchlets. The green, linear, straight phyllodes are narrowed into a long curved mucro. The phyllodes usually have a length of 8 to 16 mm (0.31 to 0.63 in) and a width of 0.6 to 0.8 mm (0.024 to 0.031 in) with sparse hairs and with no obvious nerves. It flowers between July and August producing the solitary, axillary flower-heads are spherical and contain 24 to 30 golden yellow flowers. The seed pods that form after flowering have a length of up to around 4.5 cm (1.8 in) and a width of 10 to 14 mm (0.39 to 0.55 in). [1]
The species was first formally described by the botanist Leslie Pedley in 1999 as part of the work Notes on Acacia (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) chiefly from northern Australia as published in the journal Austrobaileya . It was reclassified as Racosperma arbianum by Pedley in 2003 the transferred back to the genus Acacia in 2006. [2]
