About

Acacia grasbyi, commonly known as miniritchie, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to parts of arid western and central Australia. It is a flat-topped, resinous shrub or tree with Minni ritchi bark, erect, thickly thread-like phyllodes, spikes of golden yellow flowers and linear, somewhat woody pods slightly constricted between the seeds.

Where it grows

Miniritchie occurs throughout the arid interior of Western Australia, especially in the Murchison district, north to the Gibson Desert and south to about 64 km (40 mi) north of Leonora, with isolated populations in the north-west of South Australia and the southern Northern Territory. In Western Australia it grows on plains, granite mesas or undulating hills, in stony red sand or loam in Acacia scrub or shrubland, in the Carnarvon, Gascoyne, Geraldton Sandplains, Great Victoria Desert, Murchison, Swan Coastal Plain, Tanami and Yalgoo bioregions of arid Western Australia.
