Acacia aulacophylla is a bushy, rounded wattle shrub from the Western Australian wheatbelt and Murchison, grown for its golden-yellow ball-shaped flowers. The key to growing it is full sun and very free-draining soil, as it is adapted to dry, sandy or rocky ground.
Acacia aulacophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with linear phyllodes that are circular in cross section, spherical spikes of golden-yellow flowers, and linear pods up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long.
This species of wattle grows on plains, breakaways, laterite or granite hills in open scrub, dominated by other species of Acacia, between Byro Station, Mullewa and Morawa, extending inland to Cue. It grows in clay, loamy, sandy or rocky soils, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia.
