Acacia hastulata
Prickly Swamp Wattle is a shrub of south-west Western Australia that grows naturally in swampy ground. It is best kept moist, in full sun, and it is valued more as a native landscape or wetland plant than as a common houseplant.
Acacia hastulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is often an intricate shrub with crowded, sharply pointed, sometimes heart-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of cream-coloured flowers and terete, curved pods narrowed at both ends.
This species of wattle occurs near the Scott River, south of Nannup, south-east of Albany and near Esperance in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions in the south-west of Western Australia. It usually grows in swampy places, often with Melaleuca or Banksia species, and also in karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) forest.
