Acacia deficiens is a low, spreading or domed wattle shrub from south-western Western Australia, grown for its golden yellow flower heads. It needs full sun and well-drained soil, and suits dry-climate and xeriscape gardens.
Acacia deficiens is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate, domed or spreading shrub with a few mostly lance-shaped to narrowly oblong phyllodes at the base of the end branchlets, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and narrowly oblong, brittle, glabrous, thinly papery pods.
This species of wattle has a scattered distribution from Burakin south to near Lake Grace and east to near Mount Andrew (about 90 km (56 mi) south-west of Balladonia) and Coolgardie. It grows in loam, clay, sandy loam and sand, in open shrub mallee and woodland on flat or gently undulating plains in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
