About

Acacia bifaria is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the far south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate or semi-prostrate, often domed shrub with wavy branchlets, the phyllodes continuous with the branchlets and forming wings on either side of a central axis, spherical heads of light golden-yellow flowers, and strongly curved or coiled crust-like pods.

Where it grows

This species of wattle is found in mallee and woodland between Ravensthorpe and the Fitzgerald River in the Esperance Plains bioregion of the southern part of the south-west of Western Australia. It is often found in clay, rocky loam or sandy soils on undulating plains, low-lying areas and on roadsides.
