About

Acacia havilandiorum, also known as Haviland's wattle or needle wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-east of continental Australia. It is a bushy shrub, occasionally a tree, with inclined to ascending straight or slightly curved phyllodes, spherical heads of pale to bright golden yellow flowers and linear, thinly leathery pods.

Where it grows

Haviland's wattle has a discontinuous distribution from as far west as the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia to near Gilgandra in New South Wales. It is mainly found in the Flinders Range area and in the Griffith area of New South Wales. In Victoria it is only known from west of Horsham. It mainly grows in sandy or loamy red soils in mallee and woodland communities on rocky hillsides and ridges.
