Acacia flavipila is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves that is endemic to an area of south western Australia. It is mostly found in the subtropical biome. [1]
The spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 2 metres (2 to 7 ft) [2] and has branchlets that are densely covered in golden coloured hairs that are more white on young shoots. The branchlets also have persistent stipules that are about 1 mm (0.039 in) in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes have an elliptic to oblong-elliptic or oblanceolate shape and are usually inequilateral with a length of 10 to 22 mm (0.39 to 0.87 in) and a width of 3 to 9 mm (0.12 to 0.35 in) and two or three main nerves. [3] It blooms from May to September and produces yellow flowers. [2]
