Acacia anomala
Acacia anomala is a rush-like shrub in the pea family, endemic to a small area of the Darling Range in southwest Western Australia. It is grown mainly as a native garden plant in well-drained, sandy or lateritic soil in full sun.
Acacia anomala, commonly known as Chittering grass wattle or grass wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area along the west coast of Western Australia. It is an erect, rush-like shrub mostly with a few linear to narrow elliptic phyllodes, spikes of golden-yellow flowers, and linear pods up to 50 mm (2.0 in) long.
Chittering grass wattle has a very small range, confined to an area between Chittering, Swan and Kalamunda where it grows on the slopes of the Darling Range in lateritic soils. It is mostly found as part of Eucalyptus woodland communities.
