Acacia crassa
Curracabah (Acacia crassa) is a single-stemmed wattle shrub or small tree native to eastern Australia, growing 6 to 12 m tall with yellow flower spikes and linear pods. It is a native Australian species and is rarely grown as a garden plant outside its range.
Acacia crassa, commonly known as curracabah, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a single-stemmed shrub or tree with very narrowly elliptic phyllodes gradually tapered on both ends, spikes of bright or deep yellow flowers and linear, glabrous pods.
This species of wattle range follows along the line of the Great Dividing Range from around Mackay in Queensland to about Newcastle in New South Wales where it is found on sandstone and rocky conglomerate areas growing in gravelly, sandy, sandy loam or clayey soils. It is usually a part of sclerophyll woodland, heath or open scrub communities. Subspecies crassa only occurs in north-eastern Queensland where it is common in woodland and forest and is particularly common in the Monto-Gin Gin areas but also occurs in a few areas between Eidsvold-Wandoan and Shoalwater Bay.
