Acacia eriopoda
Acacia eriopoda, commonly known as Broome pindan wattle or narrow-leaf pindan wattle and as yirrakulu to the Nyangumarta people, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the north of Western Australia. It is a slender, erect shrub or small tree with smooth to fissured and fibrous, grey-brown bark, linear, leathery phyllodes, spikes of yellow flowers, and thinly woody pods somewhat resembling a string of beads.
Broome pindan wattle occurs on red sandy soils in the Carnarvon, Central Kimberley, Dampierland, Gascoyne, Great Sandy Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Ord Victoria Plain, Pilbara and Tanami IBRA bioregions. It is associated with pindan habitats. It is mostly found in the Kimberley region with some of the population found in the Pilbara where it is found along watercourses and on low rocky ranges where it grows on deep red sand and alluvial pindan plain in sandy soils.
