About

Acacia dimorpha, commonly known as Artesian Range whorled wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic northern Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with branchlets covered with short, white hairs, whorls of linear phyllodes of two different forms with stipules at the base, heads of yellow flowers and narrowly oblong, thinly leathery pods.

Where it grows

Artesian Range whorled wattle grows in sand over quartzite on slopes, rocky ridges and along seasonal creeks in a small area of the west Kimberley region of northern Western Australia, where it is known from the Edkins and Artesian ranges near the Charnley River. It is a short-lived species that regenerates prolifically following fire.
