Acacia carneorum
Also called Needle Wattle, Purple Wood Wattle
Acacia carneorum, commonly known as needle wattle, dead finish or purple-wood wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to an area near the New South Wales - South Australian border. It is a straggly, spreading shrub or tree with sessile, thick, rigid, sharply-pointed, more or less linear phyllodes, spherical heads of bright yellow flowers, and straight to curved, more or less woody pods.
Acacia carneorum grows in grassland, woodland and mulga communities in red, sandy soil and near watercourses, in scattered locations between Lake Frome and Peterborough in South Australia and Tibooburra and Menindee Lakes in far western New South Wales.
