Acacia fecunda, the Mosquito Creek wattle, is a shrub from the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia, grown for its golden yellow flower spikes and leathery phyllodes. Its key to cultivation is well-drained soil and full sun, as it naturally grows along creeks and drainage lines in hot, dry country.
Acacia fecunda, commonly known as Mosquito Creek wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the north of Western Australia. It is a shrub with spreading, more or less open crowns, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped phyllodes, spikes of light golden yellow flowers and linear pods, rounded over and slightly constricted between the seeds.
Mosquito Creek wattle grows along shallow creeks and drainage lines, on hills and road verges in a few disjunct populations near where the Oakover River and Davis River meet to the east of Nullagine in the Pilbara bioregions of Western Australia.
