Acacia celsa
Also called Black Wattle, Brush Ironbark Wattle, Hickory Wattle
Acacia celsa, commonly known as brown salwood, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to north Queensland, Australia. It is a tree with thinly leathery phyllodes that are straight on one edge and curved on the other, spikes of pale lemon yellow flowers, and leathery pods up to 30 mm (1.2 in) long.
Brown salwood is endemic to north eastern Queensland where it is common from near Cooktown to the eastern parts of the Atherton Tableland, with a disjunct population in the Paluma Range National Park. It grows in rainforest in coastal plains and on steep mountains, usually around 600 to 900 m (2,000 to 3,000 ft) high, where it is a pioneer or canopy species as part of rainforest communities, and the annual rainfall is between 1,300–1,400 mm (51–55 in).
