About

Acacia citrinoviridis, commonly known as river jam, milhan or wantan, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to north-western Western Australia. It is a graceful tree with fissured grey bark, shiny reddish brown branchlets, narrowly elliptic, leathery phyllodes, spikes of bright yellow flowers, and narrowly oblong pods with citron green or silvery white hairs.

Where it grows

This species of wattle usually grows near creeks and rivers with sandy, rocky beds but also in stony soil away from watercourses. It is found from near Shark Bay to the Fortescue River, west to Nanutarra, and west of a line between Marble Bar and Wiluna in the Carnarvon, Gascoyne, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison and Carnarvon, Gascoyne, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison and Pilbara bioregions of Western Australia.
