About

Acacia eremophila is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the southern inland of Western Australia. It is a dense, rounded or inverted cone-shaped shrub with hairy branchlets, straight, terete, rigid phyllodes, spherical heads of light, golden yellow flowers, and linear, thinly crust-like pods raised over and more or less constricted between the seeds.

Where it grows

Acacia eremophila grows in sandy soils with clay, loam and gravel on sandplains, sandy ridges and flats, and is widely distributed in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Great Victoria Desert, Mallee, Murchison and Nullarbor bioregions of Western Australia. The variety variabilis is known only from Kalannie, Comet Vale, Zanthus and Balladonia.
