About

Acacia adenogonia is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Western Australia. It is a prickly, erect to sprawling shrub with cylindrical branchlets, egg-shaped to lance-shaped phyllodes, flowers arranged in spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and thin leathery pods that are constricted between the seeds.

Where it grows

Acacia adenogonia is native to an area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The shrub has a scattered distribution with separate populations found through the West Kimberley particularly along the Bonaparte Archipelago, the Broome and Napier Bay areas, and inland as far as Phillips Range, Kimberley Downs Station and Beverley Springs Station, and is found on areas of sandstone growing in sandy soils as a part of woodland communities.
