About

Acacia bromilowiana, commonly known as Bromilow's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It is usually a gnarled, erect tree with lance-shaped to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, pairs of cylindrical heads of light golden yellow flowers, and papery, narrowly oblong pods.

Where it grows

Bromilow's wattle is native to an area of the Pilbara region of Western Australia and is found in a variety of situations including creek beds, rocky hills, scree slopes, gorges, and breakaways, growing in skeletal stony loam soils that are pebbly to gravelly over laterite, ironstone and basalt. The bulk of the population is situated on the Hamersley Range from around Tom Price through the Ophthalmia Range and on the Hancock Range to around Newman. Another population is found on Balfour Downs Station to the northeast of Newman. It is often found amongst open low eucalypt woodlands communities consisting of Eucalyptus leucophloia and Corymbia hamersleyana over spinifex.
