About

Acacia clunies-rossiae, commonly known as kowmung wattle or kanangra wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area of New South Wales, Australia. It is a bushy shrub or tree with narrowly oblong to lance-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of bright, light golden flowers and firmly papery, glabrous pods raised over the seeds.

Where it grows

Kowmung wattle is restricted to the valleys of the Kowmung River and nearby Coxs River in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, where it forms part of dry sclerophyll forest communities and is found on rocky slopes of slate or shale, or in alluvium along watercourses.
