Acacia capillaris is a small, erect wattle shrub from the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia, growing to about 0.4 to 1 metre tall. It is rarely cultivated and is best suited to hot, dry, well-drained conditions similar to its native rocky slopes.
Acacia capillaris is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the north of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with hairy branchlets, erect, flattened phyllodes arranged in whorls, heads of yellow flowers, and linear, stalked pods.
This species of wattle is found around Mount Bell and Scott Gorge in the Central Kimberley bioregion of Western Australia, often growing on steep rocky slopes or along creek lines in clay soils over granite, under Livistona palms.
