Acacia browniana
Brown's wattle is a small shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its fluffy cream to golden-yellow flower heads. The key to growing it is good drainage and full sun in a mild climate.
Acacia browniana, commonly known as Brown's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
