Acacia incrassata is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to south western Australia.
The erect pungent shrub typically grows to a height of 0.1 to 0.3 metres (0.3 to 1.0 ft). [1] It is able to spread by subterranean runners. The prominently ribbed branchlets have soft silky hairs that are usually sparsely distributed and mostly found on the ribs. The branchlets also have indurate to spinose stipules that are 1.5 to 3 mm (0.059 to 0.118 in) in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen pungent and shiny glabrous phyllodes are inequilateral often with an obtriangular to obdeltate shape and with a length of 5 to 12 mm (0.20 to 0.47 in) and a width of 4 to 10 mm (0.16 to 0.39 in)and a prominent midrib near the abaxial margin. [2] It produces yellow flowers from June to August. [1]
