Acacia brownii, known as heath wattle, is a low, spreading or semi-prostrate Australian shrub under 1 m tall with rigid pointed phyllodes and bright yellow flower heads. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant native that suits dry, well-drained sites.
Acacia brownii, commonly known as heath wattle or prickly Moses, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern continental Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with more or less rigid, straight, sharply-pointed phyllodes, bright yellow flowers arranged in spherical heads and curved, flat, leathery pods.
Heath wattle grows on sandy or clay loam in dry sclerophyll forest, woodland or heath in southern and eastern Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. It is found throughout the Great Dividing Range from around the Grampians in Victoria in the south through New South Wales and up to around Burra Burri in Queensland.
