Acacia binervata
Also called Two Veined Hickory
Acacia binervata, commonly known as two-veined hickory, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a bushy shrub or tree, with narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, creamy yellow flowers arranged in spherical heads in 15 to 25 racemes, and glabrous, thinly crust-like to leathery pods up to 140 mm (5.5 in) long.
The plant can be grown from seed, though the seed must be scarified prior to planting. It is a hardy and fast growing plant that copes well in damp areas and prefers full sun or part shade positions. It is a dense shade tree or shelter tree or hedge that is frost hardy.
The fungal pathogen Sarcostroma acaciae is found on various species of Acacia including A. binervata in Australia, and causes leaf spots.
Two-veined hickory is found along the east coast of Australia from south east Queensland through much of New South Wales. It is found from around Narooma in southern New South Wales to around Mittagong in the west up to around the Mount Tambourine area in southern Queensland. It grows on moist sites in sandy or basaltic soils as a part of tall sclerophyll forest or on the margins of rainforest communities.
