Acacia wiseana is a shrub that grows in arid and semi-arid parts of northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
It is an intricate spiny shrub that typically grows to a height of 1 to 4 m (3 ft 3 in to 13 ft 1 in) [1] and has a similar width. The divaricate light green glabrous branchlets are short and straight with striate-ribbing. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The sparse and inconspicuous, light green phyllodes shed frequently from the branchlets. the phyllodes are patent to deflexed with a linear shape that is pentagonal-compressed to flat. They are 5 to 20 mm (0.20 to 0.79 in) in length and 1 to 1.5 mm (0.039 to 0.059 in) wide and have five nerves. [2] It produces yellow flowers from July to September. [1]
It was first published by Charles Gardner in 1942, [3] based on a specimen collected by him and possibly also Frank Wise (the publication lists Wise as a collector, but the herbarium specimens are only tagged with Gardner's name), near Wandagee on the Minilya River in Western Australia, on 31 August 1932. The specific epithet honours Wise. [2]
