Acacia cyclocarpa, or ring-pod minni-ritchi, is a sprawling, low shrub native to the Kimberley region of Western Australia, growing in sandy, rocky soils. It is rarely grown in gardens, and its key needs are full sun, excellent drainage and little water once established.
Acacia cyclocarpa, commonly known as ring-pod minni-ritchi, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is a sprawling, low-lying to semi-erect shrub with narrowly linear phyllodes with a small point on the end, oblong to short-cylindrical of light golden yellow flowers and leathery, strongly curved pods, forming an open circle or coil.
Ring-pod minni-ritchi grows in usually large populations of scattered plants in skeletal sandy soils over broken sandstone scattered over several kilometres in the north-west Kimberley bioregion. It grows in association with Acacia orthocarpa, A. prolata, Auranticarpa resinosa, Borya subulata, Eucalyptus miniata, E. phoenicea, E. rupestris, Owenia vernicosa and Triodia claytonii.
