Acacia barattensis
Acacia barattensis is a diffuse, sticky shrub from the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, grown mainly for its pale yellow ball-shaped flowers. It is a species, not a genus, and is rarely cultivated, so care advice is general wattle guidance.
Acacia barattensis, commonly known as Baratta wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area of South Australia. It is a diffuse, sticky, glabrous shrub with slender, narrowly linear phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow flowers arranged singly or in pairs in axils, and linear pods up to 150 mm (5.9 in) long.
Baratta wattle is restricted to the Flinders Range of South Australia where it grows on slopes of quartzite gullies and near creeks, often in association with Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. flindersii and Callitris glaucophylla.
