Acacia anaticeps
Acacia anaticeps, also known as duck-headed wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Western Australia. It is a shrubby tree with corky bark, curved, egg-shaped to elliptic phyllodes, racemes or panicles of heads each with 4 to 7 cream-coloured flowers, and curved pods resembling a string of beads.
This species of wattle is endemic to arid areas in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia where it is often situated on sand dunes and pindan country growing in red sandy or sandy-loamy soils. The range of the plant extends from the northern boundary of the Pilbara region northwards to around Broome in the north west to around Kumpupintil Lake and Lake Gregory in the east and is sometimes found on heavier, sometimes saline, soils.
