Acacia tabula, commonly known as Wombargo wattle, [1] is a species of Acacia of subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to north eastern Victoria, Australia.
The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.4 to 0.6 m (1 ft 4 in to 2 ft 0 in) and has glabrous branchlets not pruinose. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The glabrous, thinly textured and evergreen phyllodes have an inequilaterally narrowly oblong to elliptic shape. The phyllodes are 6 to 14 mm (0.24 to 0.55 in) in length and 1 to 3.5 mm (0.039 to 0.138 in) in width with an obscure midrib and lateral nerves. [2] It flowers between August and October, [1] producing racemose inflorescences have small spherical flower-heads globular with a diameter of 2 to 2.5 mm (0.079 to 0.098 in) containing five to eight golden colored flowers. [2] Acacia Tabula having these flowers make it apart of the magnoliophyta phylum. [3]
It has a limited distribution from around Splitters Creek to the south of Wulgulmerang where it is usually a part of open dry forest communities growing in shallow soils that are derived from sediments. It is often associated from Acacia infecunda and Acacia nanopravissima . [2] It is restricted to a small population in the upper catchment Little River which flows into the Snowy River on the Wombargo Range in as a group of small fragmented stands that are relatively close to each other. [1]
Acacia tabula is a rare species of plant, it is only native to one part of Australia, which is Victoria, Australia. [4] Because Acacia tabula isn't commonly found it is known as an endangered species. [5] Acacia tabula can be found in dry and rocky areas. [6]
Tabula Acacia is under the genus Acacia, which is a part of the seed plant group, more specifically phylum magnoliophyta. [7] Because Tabula Acacia is a part of the magnoliophyta phylum, like all plants it reproduces through alternation of generations. Because of being a part of magnoliophyta, it has seed dispersal at the zygote stage of its lifecycle. [3] Being an angiosperm and given the types of flowers that grow on Acacia tabula, it is also a monoecious species. [8]
Acacia cultriformis, known as the knife-leaf wattle, dogtooth wattle, half-moon wattle or golden-glow wattle, is a perennial tree or shrub of the genus Acacia native to Australia. It is widely cultivated, and has been found to have naturalised in Asia, Africa, North America, New Zealand and South America. A. cultriformis grows to a height of about 4 m (13 ft) and has triangle-shaped phyllodes. The yellow flowers appear from August to November in its natural range. Its attractive foliage and bright flowers make it a popular garden plant.

It is an inticately branched, often compact shrub with spiny branchlets, sharply pointed, triangular to trowel-shaped phyllodes, flowers arranged in spherical heads of 11 to 15 flowers, and firmly papery pods, rounded over the seeds.
Acacia alexandri is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Cape Range in the north-west of Western Australia. It is a glabrous shrub with slender branchlets, linear phyllodes, and cream-coloured flowers arranged in 1 or 2 spherical heads in the axils of phyllodes, and narrowly oblong, papery pods up to 70 mm (2.8 in) long.
Acacia georgensis, commonly known as Bega wattle or Dr George Mountain wattle, is a species of Acacia native to southeastern Australia. It was one of eleven species selected for the Save a Species Walk campaign in April 2016 when scientists walked 300 km to raise money for collection of seeds to be prepared and stored at the Australian PlantBank at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan.
