Acacia fimbriata
Also called Brisbane Golden Wattle, Brisbane Wattle
Acacia fimbriata, commonly known as fringed wattle, Brisbane golden wattle, or Brisbane wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the east coast of Australia. It is a shrub or tree with linear to narrowly oblong or narrowly lance-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of bright golden yellow flowers and glabrous, firmly papery pods. It is the floral emblem of the city of Brisbane, Queensland.
The plant can be propagated from seed and is hardy in most situations where adequate water is available. It is suitable as a hedge or screening plant and can be planted in a tropical environment and is frost tolerant.
Fringed wattle occurs in coastal areas and adjacent tablelands from near Yeppoon, Carnarvon National Park and Ravenshoe in Queensland and from Inverell to Nerriga in New South Wales. It often grows along rocky streams in Eucalyptus woodland, in rocky and sandy soils or along the fringes of rainforest in more northern areas.
