Acacia ericksoniae is a small, spreading wattle shrub from south-west Western Australia, growing 20–60 cm tall with golden yellow flower heads. It is a native species rarely grown in gardens, so care knowledge is limited and mostly drawn from general wattle cultivation.
Acacia ericksoniae is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a many-branched, more or less spreading shrub with hairy branchlets that are often spiny, triangular phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and coiled pods.
This species of wattle grows on sandplain, scrub or woodland on low, rocky hills near Mingenew and Three Springs, from near Watheroo and south-south-east to near Tammin and in the Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve (about 100 km (62 mi) due east of Watheroo, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
