Acacia enterocarpa
Acacia enterocarpa, commonly known as jumping jack wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south of continental Australia. It is a dense, spreading shrub, with ribbed, reddish brown branchlets, more or less sessile straight to shallowly curved phyllodes, spherical heads of bright yellow flowers, and wavy, leathery pods.
Jumping jack wattle has a disjunct distribution through parts of south eastern South Australia and western Victoria. It is found on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula and Yorke Peninsula from around Curramulka and near Bordertown extending eastwards as far as to Nhill in western Victoria. It is often found in woodland to open forest and grows in sandy alkaline soils as well as in neutral yellow duplex to red porous loamy soils and grey cracking clay soils.
