Acacia burrowii, commonly known as Burrow's wattle, is a tree belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to eastern Australia.
The tree only has single stem typically grows to a height of less than 13 m (43 ft) and grey coloured ribbony bark. It has glabrous, scurfy, reddish-brown coloured branchlets that are angular towards the apices. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes instead of true leaves. The flat, straight, or slightly curved phyllodes have a narrowly elliptic shape with a length of 2.5 to 11 cm (0.98 to 4.33 in) and a width of 4 to 10 mm (0.16 to 0.39 in) and have one to three slightly prominent main veins. It blooms between July and October producing yellow flowers. The flower-spikes have a length of 1.5 to 3 cm (0.59 to 1.18 in) packed with golden coloured flowers. After flowering thinly coriaceous to crustaceous seed pods form that have a linear shape and are slightly constricted between seeds with a length of 4 to 11 cm (1.6 to 4.3 in). The dark brown to black seeds with an oblong-elliptic shape are longitudinally arranged in the pods. [1]
