Acacia betchei
Acacia betchei is a shrub, or sometimes a small tree, native to the tablelands of eastern Australia, with narrow phyllodes and spherical heads of yellow flowers. It grows in sandy, granite-based soils and is best suited to a sunny, free-draining site.
Acacia betchei, commonly known as red-tip wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub, or sometimes a tree, with narrowly linear phyllodes, pale to bright yellow flowers arranged in spherical heads in racemes, and linear to narrowly oblong, leathery to thinly crust-like pods up to 140 mm (5.5 in) long.
Red-tip wattle is found along the tablelands of the Great Dividing Range from Dalveen in south-eastern Queensland to Torrington in north-eastern New South Wales. It is found in sandy granite based soils as a part of forest communities.
