Acacia binervia
Also called Coastal Myall, Coastal Wattle
Coast myall is a native Australian tree or spreading shrub, growing up to about 16 m, that is grown for its narrow, sickle-shaped phyllodes and yellow flower heads in spring. It suits sunny, well-drained sites in mild climates.
Acacia binervia, commonly known as the coast myall, coastal myall, coastal wattle, or kai'arrawan in the Dharawal language, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is an erect or spreading tree or shrub, with narrowly elliptic to sickle-shaped phyllodes, pale to bright yellow flowers arranged in cylindrical heads in up to five racemes, and straight pods up to 85 mm (3.3 in) long.
Coast myall is found in central New South Wales from the Hunter Region south, and to Bungonia in the southwest, and continuing south into Victoria. In the Sydney basin, it grows on a variety of soils and associated plant communities—alluvial soils, sandstone-, shale- or trachyte-based soils, generally with good drainage. It grows in dry sclerophyll forest, associated with such species as yellow bloodwood (Corymbia eximia), grey gum (Eucalyptus punctata), narrow-leaved ironbark (E. crebra), mugga ironbark (E. sideroxylon), or more open woodland with narrow-leaved ironbark and black cypress pine (Callitris endlicheri), and riparian (riverbank) forest with river peppermint (E. elata) and gossamer wattle (Acacia floribunda). There is a single record from the upper Snowy River in Victoria.
