Acacia hemsleyi is a wattle shrub or small tree from tropical northern Australia, grown mainly in dry, warm regions and found along riverbanks and creeks. It is a drought-tolerant, sun-loving plant that suits open, well-drained sites.
Acacia hemsleyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to tropical northern Australia. It is a slightly resinous shrub or tree with linear to very narrowly elliptic, straight or slightly curved phyllodes, yellow flowers borne in spikes, and linear, firmly papery to thinly leathery pods.
This species of wattle occurs in tropical Australia north of 21°S, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the north of the Northern Territory, and is very common in north-western Queensland. It grows along riverbanks and rocky creek beds and around permanent water sources.
