Acacia hemiteles
Acacia hemiteles, commonly known as tan wattle or broombush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to western Australia. It is a dense, spreading, glabrous shrub with many stems, narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblong or linear phyllodes, flowers borne in spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and slightly curved to coiled, papery pods.
Tan wattle is found from Kanandah Station on the Nullarbor Plain and west to Ongerup and Canna in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Geraldton Sandplains, Great Victoria Desert, Mallee, Murchison, Nullarbor and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia and near Maralinga in South Australia. It grows in a range of soils in woodland or shrubland, sometimes on laterite or granite rocks.
