Acacia clandullensis, commonly known as gold dust wattle, [1] is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae. It is endemic to New South Wales.
The open pendulous shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 metres (3 to 7 ft). [2] It has slightly ridged densely hairy branchlets that become terete. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes are quite crowded and have a circular to broadly elliptic or obovate shape with a length of 0.4 to 1.6 cm (0.16 to 0.63 in) and a width of 3 to 11 mm (0.12 to 0.43 in). The light gren phyllodes are sparsely hairy when young and have a subprominent midvein. [1]
The species was first formally described by the botanists Barry Conn and Terry Tame in 1996 as part of the work A revision of the Acacia uncinata group (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae) as published in Australian Systematic Botany . It was reclassified as Racosperma clandullense in 2003 by Leslie Pedley then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006. [3] It is quite similar in appearance to Acacia sertiformis . [1]
It is mostly found in the areas around Clandulla and Glen Davis growing at higher altitudes in stony sandy or clay-loam soils where it is usually part of open Eucalyptus rossii woodland communities. [2]
