About

Acacia ayersiana, commonly known as Ayers Rock mulga, broad-leaf mulga, Uluru mulga, or blue mulga, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to arid areas of inland Australia. It is a rounded or conical shrub with the narrower end towards the base or a singe-stemmed tree, its phyllodes narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped, the flowers yellow and arranged in cylindrical spikes, and papery pods up to 40 mm (1.6 in) long on a short stalk.

Where it grows

Uluru mulga grows in low-lying areas and along creeks and swales and is widely distributed throughout arid and semi-arid parts of Australia, occurring in Western Australia, South Australia, and southern parts of the Northern Territory.
