Acacia axillaris, the midlands mimosa or midlands wattle, is a shrub endemic to Tasmania with pale yellow, honey-scented flowers in spring. It is a tough, sun-loving wattle that suits dry, free-draining sites.
Acacia axillaris, commonly known as midlands mimosa or midlands wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Tasmania.
