About

Acacia blayana, commonly known as Blay's wattleor Brogo wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-east of New South Wales. It is a tree with dark grey bark, leathery, bipinnate leaves, bright yellow to golden-yellow flowers arranged in spherical heads, and straight or slightly curved leathery pods.

Where it grows

Blay's wattle is found only on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range at Wadbilliga National Park in steep mountainous country in the south-east of New South Wales. The habitat is shallow rocky soils with relatively tall eucalyptus trees nearby. It occurs in pure stands and is sometimes associated with Acacia mearnsii or with species of Eucalyptus and Tristaniopsis laurina.
