Acacia boormanii
Acacia boormanii, commonly called Snowy River wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-east continental Australia. It is a bushy shrub with narrowly linear to narrowly lance-shaped, or oblong to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, golden-yellow flowers arranged in spherical heads on a raceme, and firmly papery, linear pods.
Snowy River wattle grows in woodland and forest and occurs from the Cooma district in New South Wales to rocky slopes and banks of the Snowy River in Victoria. Subspecies gibba is restricted to Mount Typo and near the Rose River in Victoria, where it grows in montane to subalpine forest, mostly on shallow soils. It is also recorded as naturalised in the Australian Capital Territory and in some parts of Victoria.
