Acacia penninervis var. penninervis

Scientific NameAcacia penninervis var. penninervis
CategoriesNitrogen FixerShrubTreeWattle
Common Name(s)Mountain Hickory
FamilyFabaceae, Subfamily Mimosoideae

Description

"Shrub or small tree to 8 m high, commonly smaller." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

Notes

We observe Acacia pennineris subsp. penninervis in subcoastal eucalypt forests where it is common and locally abundant; often occurring in Spotted Gum forests. It is also recorded on the coast. Like Acacia bancroftiorum with which it may be found, the plants are relatively accessible and the seed is simple to collect after Winter rain allows crop formation.

Historical Notes

Distribution

"Occurs predominantly on the Great Divide from Blackdown Tableland, Qld, S through N.S.W. and A.C.T. to Monument Ridge, Vic., with a outlier near Longwood, Vic." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
