Acacia brachybotrya
Also called Grey Mulga
Acacia brachybotrya is a dense, round shrub of semi-arid south-eastern Australia, growing 1 to 3 m tall, with golden-yellow flower heads in winter and spring. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant wattle that suits dry, open sites.
Acacia brachybotrya, commonly known as grey mulga or grey wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-east of continental Australia. It is a dense, round, erect or spreading shrub with usually densely hairy branchlets, variably shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of golden-yellow flowers, and linear, firmly papery to leathery pods.
Grey mulga is distributed widely throughout semi-arid parts of south eastern Australia from around Yalata in the west of South Australia to around Bendigo in Victoria in the east and as far north as Nymagee in New South Wales where it is found growing in many different soil types, often in part of mallee communities.
