Acacia podalyriifolia

Scientific NameAcacia podalyriifolia
CategoriesNitrogen FixerShrubWattle
Common Name(s)Mount Morgan Wattle, Queensland Silver Wattle
FamilyFabaceae, Subfamily Mimosoideae

Description

"Spreading tree 3–7 m high." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

Notes

"In the N of its range it is more or less restricted to sandstone hills in open Eucalyptus forest, however, in the south it occurs on rocks of various types. An adaptable species which has become naturalised in some areas. Flowers mainly June and July." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)

Acacia podalyriifolia is easily distinguished with its often contrasting, bluish-grey phyllodes. It's a very simple species to collect in large quantities if it has cropped well. We notice many small, isolated groups of plants however some large stands occur on heavily outcropping sandstones.
