Acacia hilliana
Acacia hilliana, commonly known as Hill's tabletop wattle, sandhill wattle, Hilltop wattle, and flying saucer bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to north-western Australia. It is a low, spreading to sprawling, sticky shrub with terete to compressed, leathery phyllodes, erect spikes of golden yellow flowers and erect, linear pods.
The Banyjima know it as bundaljingu, the Nyangumarta people call it puntanungu, and it is called ntwanengayte, ntwanegayt or pwentanengayte in the Kaytetye language.
Hill's tabletop wattle is widespread and relatively common in northern and central Australia, extending from the Pilbara region of Western Australia through the Northern Territory to north-west Queensland between about 17°S and 25°S. In Western Australia it usually grows on rocky ranges and plateaus, on sand dunes and sand plains in red sandy and stony soils. In the Northern Territory it occurs with spinifex on rocky or gravelly ranges on hills and rises, and extends into far north-western Queensland.
