About

Acacia dallachiana, commonly known as catkin wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to higher altitudes near the New South Wales-Victoria border in south-eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub or tree with narrowly lance-shaped to narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spikes of mid to deep yellow flowers and pods resembling a string of beads.

Where it grows

Catkin wattle is endemic to the New South Wales-Victoria border, and is found in the Victorian Alps and highlands with the bulk of the population confined to the montane and subalpine forests on the Buffalo Range and at Sassafras Gap. It extends into the far south east of New South Wales in the Snowy Mountains at higher altitudes where it is found growing in granitic soils in wet sclerophyll forest and woodlands.
