Acacia forsythii, commonly known as Warrumbungle Range wattle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of New South Wales, Australia. It is a bushy shrub with glabrous, red-brown branchlets, linear phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and narrowly oblong, leathery pods.
Acacia forsythii is a bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of 2m (6ft 7in) and has glabrous, red-brown branchlets. Its phyllodes are on raised stem-projections, ascending to erect, linear, 60–100mm (2.4–3.9in) long and 2–5mm (0.079–0.197in) wide with a gland4–14mm (0.16–0.55in) above the pulvinus. The flowers are borne in 5 to 10 spherical heads in axils on peduncles5–7mm (0.20–0.28in) long, each head with 25 to 35 golden yellow flowers. Flowering mainly occurs in December and January, and the pods are narrowly oblong, up to 70mm (2.8in) long, 6–7mm (0.24–0.28in) wide, more or less leathery and slightly rounded over the seeds. The seeds are oblong, about 5mm (0.20in) long and dull black with a club-shaped aril.[2][3][4][5]
Warrumbungle Range wattle is restricted to the Warrumbungle National Park in New South Wales, where it grows in sandy soils in open woodland in sheltered sites, mainly at higher altitudes.[2][3]
