Acacia drewiana is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Pulchellae that is endemic to an area of south western Australia.
The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.15 to 0.9 metres (0.5 to 3.0 ft) [1] but most usually around 0.3 m (1 ft 0 in) with flexuose and hairy branchlets. The primary leaf axis is obviously continuous and decurrent with the branchlet and have a length of 5 to 20 mm (0.20 to 0.79 in) and quite stout with two to four pairs of pinnae that are 2 to 12 mm (0.079 to 0.472 in) in length and two to six pairs of green to grey-green pinnules that have a narrowly oblong shape with a length of 2 to 7 mm (0.079 to 0.276 in) and a width of 1 to 1.5 mm (0.039 to 0.059 in). [2] It blooms from April to July and produces yellow flowers. [1] The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axils with large spherical flower-heads containing 22 to 35 densely packed golden flowers. The crustaceous, hairy seed pods that form later have a narrowly oblong shape with a length of 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) and width of 6 to 7 mm (0.24 to 0.28 in) that contain mottled broadly elliptic seeds.
