Acacia aulacocarpa
Also called Brown Salwood, Brush Ironbark Wattle, Brush Ironwood, Golden Flower Salwood, Grey Wattle, Hickory Wattle
Acacia aulacocarpa, commonly known as Papua New Guinea brown wattle, New Guinea wattle, golden-flowered salwood or lancewood, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is native to New Guinea, Queensland and New South Wales. It is a shrub or tree, with elliptic to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, cylindrical heads of bright golden-yellow flowers, and narrowly oblong pods up to 80 mm (3.1 in) long.
Acacia aulacocarpa has a discontinuous distribution, mainly in coastal areas and nearby tablelands from near Daintree to near Brisbane in Queensland, and near Grafton in New South Wales. It grows in clay or loam along watercourses, in sandy soil on rocky outcrops in forest and shrubland or in woodland on sandstone.
