About

Acacia confluens, commonly known as wyrilda, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It is a shrub with a spreading, umbrella-like crown and glabrous branchlets, narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow to yellow flowers and glabrous, thickly leathery to more or less woody pods, rounded over the seeds.

Where it grows

Wyrilda is endemic in South Australia, where it is found at the northern end of the Flinders Ranges, from Mount Lyndhurst east as far as Arkaroola in the Tirari Desert and Sturt Stony Desert regions where it grows in gullies and on stony hillsides in skeletal, calcareous loamy soils in tall shrubland.
