Acacia claviseta, also known as the club-tipped whorled wattle, [1] is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Lycopodiifoliae that is endemic to north western Australia.
The slightly viscid shrub typically grows to a height of 0.6 to 0.8 m (2 ft 0 in to 2 ft 7 in) and has an erect habit with many branches. The densely woolly yellow to white haired branchlets have setose stipules with a length of 1 to 2.5 mm (0.039 to 0.098 in). Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes occur in crowded whorls of 9 to 15. The erect to ascending phyllodes are 3 to 8 mm (0.12 to 0.31 in) in length and 0.3 to 0.4 mm (0.012 to 0.016 in) wide and are terete to more or less flat, well haired and have longitudinal nerves that are not visible. It blooms between February and March and July and August producing yellow flowers. [1]
