Acacia caesiella, commonly known as tableland wattle, bluebush wattle or blue bush, is a shrub or small tree that is endemic to eastern Australia.
The shrub or small tree typically grows to a height of 1 to 3.5 m (3 ft 3 in to 11 ft 6 in) and sometimes as high as 5 m (16 ft) with an erect or spreading habit. It has smooth grey or brown bark and angled branchlets. Like most Acacias it has phyllodes instead of true leaves. The phyllodes have a 4 to 10 cm (1.6 to 3.9 in) length and a width of 3 to 7 mm (0.12 to 0.28 in) with a narrowly elliptic to linear shape that is straight or curved. Globular yellow flowerheads appear between July and October in the species' native range. [1] [2] The spherical heads flower-heads have a diameter of 4 to 6.5 mm (0.16 to 0.26 in) and contain 12 to 20 bright yellow or deep yellow coloured flowers. The seed pods that form after flowering are flat and straight to slightly curved with a length of 4 to 9 cm (1.6 to 3.5 in) and a with of 6 to 10 mm (0.24 to 0.39 in) that are firmly papery to leathery. [1]
The species was first formally described by the botanists Joseph Maiden and William Blakely in 1927 as part of the work Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales. It was reclassified as Racosperma caesiellum by Leslie Pedley in 2003 then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006. [3]
It is found in the state of New South Wales mostly of the slopes of the Great Dividing Range from around Burrenjuck in the south out Mount Coricudgy in the east and to Baradine in the west. It is found on rocky areas as a part of dry sclerophyll woodland communities. [1]
Acacia cultriformis, known as the knife-leaf wattle, dogtooth wattle, half-moon wattle or golden-glow wattle, is a perennial tree or shrub of the genus Acacia native to Australia. It is widely cultivated, and has been found to have naturalised in Asia, Africa, North America, New Zealand and South America. A. cultriformis grows to a height of about 4 m (13 ft) and has triangle-shaped phyllodes. The yellow flowers appear from August to November in its natural range. Its attractive foliage and bright flowers make it a popular garden plant.
Acacia longifolia is a species of Acacia native to southeastern Australia, from the extreme southeast of Queensland, eastern New South Wales, eastern and southern Victoria, and southeastern South Australia. Common names for it include long-leaved wattle, acacia trinervis, aroma doble, golden wattle, coast wattle, sallow wattle and Sydney golden wattle. It is not listed as being a threatened species, and is considered invasive in Portugal and South Africa. In the southern region of Western Australia, it has become naturalised and has been classed as a weed by out-competing indigenous species. It is a tree that grows very quickly reaching 7–10 m in five to six years.

It is a long-lived climax rainforest tree from eastern Australia. Unlike most acacias, fire is not required for seed germination. This tree is considered vulnerable to extinction. Its former habitat is lowland sub tropical rainforest which has been mostly cleared in the 19th and 20th centuries.
