About

Acacia huegelii, commonly known as Huegel's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a straggling, semi-prostrate to erect, spiny shrub with sharply pointed phyllodes, one edge straight and the other edge convex, spherical heads of cream-coloured or white flowers and more or less flat, curved and leathery pods.

Where it grows

Huegel's wattle grows in sand in Banksia or Eucalyptus woodlands or open forest, sometimes between dunes with Agonis flexuosa and species of Kunzea, from the Moore River, south to Collie and Yallingup and from Northcliffe and Kendenup in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
