About

Acacia horridula is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a harsh, slender, single-stemmed shrub with often crowded, sharply pointed, narrowly trowel-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow flowers and terete, curved pods narrowed at both ends.

Where it grows

This species of wattle grows in sandy or gravelly soils over granite in rocky hillsides in Eucalyptus woodland in the Darling Range between the Helena Valley and the Serpentine River, and in the nearby coastal plain at Maddington, in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
