About

Acacia constablei, commonly known as the Narrabarba wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of New South Wales, Australia. It is a straggling or erect shrub with smooth bark, knobbly branchlets, bipinnate leaves with 6 to 14 pairs of pinnae, each with 9 to 30 pairs of more or less oblong or narrowly oblong pinnules, spherical heads of pale yellow or cream-coloured flowers, and straight to slightly curved, leathery pods.

Where it grows

Narrabarba wattle has a limited distribution about 20 km (12 mi) south of Eden in south western New South Wales with the bulk of the population confined to the Nadgee State Forest and within the boundaries of the proposed Narrabarba Hill Flora Reserve over a range of about 3 km (1.9 mi). Another smaller population in situated in Beowa National Park. The species is found on rocky rhyolite and apatite ridge-tops with nutrient poor skeletal sandy soils but sometimes in brown to black loamy soils. The estimated population is about 6,000 individuals in an area of around 4 ha (9.9 acres).
