Acacia colletioides
Also called Wait A While, Pin Bush, Pinbush
Acacia colletioides, commonly known as wait-a-while, pin bush or spinebush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia. It is a rigid shrub or tree with sessile, straight to more or less curved and terete phyllodes, more or less spherical heads of bright yellow flowers, and linear, thinly leathery pods.
Wait-a-while is found in dry areas from around Geraldton on the west coast of Western Australia, through part of South Australia and north western Victoria to the western slopes and plains, south and west of the Byrock-Nyngan area in New South Wales, where it grows in mallee shrubland or open woodland.
