Description

The shrub typically grows to a height of 3 metres (10 ft) [1] and has long, arching branches with cylindrical and hairy branchlets that have persistent bristle-like stipules with a length of 2 to 2.5 mm (0.079 to 0.098 in). Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The ascending to erect, thinly leathery and evergreen phyllodes have an inequilaterally oblong-oblanceolate shape with rounded upper margin. The hairy phyllodes have a length of 4.5 to 5 mm (0.18 to 0.20 in) and a width of 1.5 to 2 mm (0.059 to 0.079 in) and two or three slightly raised nerves. [2] It blooms in August and produces yellow flowers. [1] The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axils and have obloid shaped flower-heads with a diameter of 5.5 mm (0.22 in) and contain 41 yellow coloured flowers. The hairy and crustaceous seed pods have a narrowly oblong shape and are curved with a length of up to 5.5 cm (2.2 in) and a width of 5 to 10 mm (0.20 to 0.39 in) and contain shiny black seeds. [2]

Distribution

It is native to an area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia where it is commonly situated on sandstone plateaux in shallow sandy soils. [1] It has a limited range and is confined to the Edkins Range. [2]
