Acacia divergens
Acacia divergens is a spiny, open, spreading wattle shrub from south-west Western Australia, often found near swamps and creeks. It is grown in gardens where it can have moist soil and good drainage.
Acacia divergens is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is diffuse, open and spreading, spiny shrub with long, arching branches, Δ-shaped to triangular, sharply pointed phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical heads of cream-coloured to pale yellow flowers and linear, curved or twisted pods.
This species of wattle often grows near swamps and creeks, but also is jarrah forest and near Augusta in sand over limestone in coastal heath. It occurs in a discontinuous distribution from the Moora-Wongan Hills area to Augusta and Denmark areas and east to the Stirling Range in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
