Occurrence data from AVH |
Acacia camptoclada is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae endemic to arid parts of Western Australia.
The low spreading to erect shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1.0 metre (1 to 3 ft). [1] It has slightly sticky and polished branchlets with easily detached stipules. The crowded, ascending to erect glaucous green phyllodes have an asymmetrical oblanceolate to narrowly oblong shape. [2] It blooms from August to October and produces yellow flowers. [1] The inflorescences occur in groups of two to five and have showy spherical heads containing 15 to 21 golden flowers. The seed pods that form after flowering are coiled with a width of 4 to 5 mm (0.16 to 0.20 in) and contain ovate to elliptic shaped shiny black seeds with a length of around 3 mm (0.12 in). [2]
The shrub belongs to the Acacia prainii group and is closely related to Acacia dorsenna and Acacia prainii. [2]
It is native to an area in the eastern Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it is found in low-lying areas, on sandplains and dunes growing in sandy or clay soils. [1] The range extends from Newdegate in the west to around Balladonia in the east and is often part of mallee or Eucalyptus woodland communities. [2]
