Acacia exocarpoides is a broom-like, spiny wattle shrub native to arid Western Australia, growing 1 to 3 m tall with golden yellow flower heads. It is a species rarely cultivated, so care follows general rules for dryland Acacia.
Acacia exocarpoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a broom-like, glabrous shrub with erect, spiny branchlets, few, inconspicuous phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and thinly leathery pods somewhat like a string of beads.
This species of wattle grows in rocky, clayey loam near Meekatharra, in the Mount Gibson-Mullewa-Mount Magnet area and in the Rutters Soak-Rason Lake area of the Great Victoria Desert, where it is usually found in Acacia aneura communities, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Great Victoria Desert, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia.
