Acacia barbinervis is a low, spreading wattle shrub (about 20 to 40 cm tall) native to south-west Western Australia, grown for its fine foliage and yellow flower balls. It needs full sun and very well-drained, sandy or lateritic soil.
Acacia barbinervis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spreading shrub with many stems, sessile, linear phyllodes and spherical heads of golden- or creamy-yellow flowers and curved leathery to thinly crust-like pods up to 70 mm (2.8 in) long.
This species of wattle occurs from near Eneabba to Waroona in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies barbinervis grows in lateritic soils in jarra and marri woodland and forest in the Darling Range between Bindoon, Toodyay and Waroona, and subsp. borealis grows in sand and gravel in open heath and low Banksia woodland.
