Acacia adsurgens, known as whipstick wattle, is a spreading multi-stemmed Australian shrub that grows 1.5 to 4 m tall and is found in arid parts of northern Australia. It is a hardy, sun-loving species suited to dry, free-draining sites, though it is rarely grown as a garden or houseplant.
Acacia adsurgens, commonly known as whipstick wattle or sugar brother, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern areas of Australia. It is a spreading shrub with many stems, flat, linear phyllodes, densely-flowered spikes of yellow flowers, and linear, paper-like or crusty pods.
Whipstick wattle is native to northern parts of Western Australia, central parts of the Northern Territory, parts of central Queensland and in far north east South Australia near Lake Eyre. The range extends from around Roebourne in the west through central Queensland in the east. It is found flat plains and hillsides growing in reddish sandy, loamy and gravelly soils and is usually part of spinifex grassland communities.
