Acacia falciformis
Also called Tanning Wattle, Black Wattle, Broad Leaved Hickory, Large Leaf Hickory Wattle, Mountain Hickory, Broadleaf Hickory
Acacia falciformis, commonly known as mountain hickory, broad-leaved hickory, hickory wattle, black wattle, tanning wattle or large-leaf hickory wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern continental Australia. It is a shrub or tree, with glabrous branchlets, usually sickle-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of creamy yellow flowers and thinly leathery, glabrous pods.
Mountain hickory is common on the tablelands and slopes of the Great Dividing Range, mostly at altitudes between 800 and 1,200 m (2,600 and 3,900 ft), from Traralgon in Victoria through New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory to the Atherton Tableland in Queensland, although it is uncommon north of Warwick. It grows in clay loam in forest or woodland, often in moist gullies or in exposed rocky sites.
