Acacia brassii is a wattle tree native to Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland, growing up to about 10 m with golden yellow flower spikes in June and July. It is grown in tropical and subtropical gardens, and it needs a warm, frost-free site with well-drained sandy soil.
Acacia brassii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Cape York Peninsula. It is a tree with furrowed grey to dark brown bark, lance-shaped to narrowly egg-shaped phyllodes, cylindrical heads of golden yellow flowers, and linear, terete, leathery to crust-like pods.
This species of wattle is very common on Cape York Peninsula where it grows in deep, sandy soils along creeks and rivers in scrubland communities, often with Melaleuca viridiflora.
