Acacia bakeri
Also called White Marblewood, Baker's Wattle, Bakers Wattle, Marblewood, White Wattle
Acacia bakeri, known as the marblewood, white marblewood, Baker's wattle, scrub wattle or white wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading tree with narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow to cream-coloured flowers, and papery pods up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long. It is probably the largest species of Acacia in Australia
Marblewood grows in lowland subtropical rainforest and in the margins of rainforest from near the Burrum River near Maryborough in south-east Queensland to Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby in northeastern New South Wales.
The timber of A. bakeri is yellowish, hard and close-grained, making it suitable for flooring, cabinet work and tool handles.
