Acacia brunioides
Brown wattle is an erect or spreading Australian shrub in the pea family, growing to about 0.5 to 2.5 m, valued for its small yellow-white flower heads in late winter and early spring. It is a wild species of forest and heath, so it suits a sunny, well-drained spot in a garden.
Acacia brunioides, commonly known as brown wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with more or less cylindrical phyllodes, inflorescences arranged singly in leaf axils, each with 20 to 27 more or less white to bright yellow flowers, and straight, papery to leathery pods up to 15–60 mm (0.59–2.36 in) long.
This species of Acacia grows in forest and heath north from the Glen Innes district. Subspecies brunioides is common on rocky outcrops in the Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Parks, on and near the McPherson Range and near the Tooloom and Urbenville areas. Subspecies granitica is restricted to higher altitudes near Stanthorpe and Wallangarra in Queensland.
