About

Acacia incognita, also known as false sugar brother, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the north-west of Western Australia. It is a inverted cone-shaped shrub or tree with the main stems slightly crooked and with fissured grey bark, often subterete to flat phyllodes, spherical to oblong heads of golden yellow flowers, and terete, thinly papery to crusty pods.

Where it grows

False sugar brother occurs from near Mullewa and Yalgoo and south to Karara Station (about 80 km (50 mi) east of Morawa and is often locally common. It grows in semi-arid areas in loam or loamy clay in open or mallee woodland or shrubland in the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of north-western Western Australia.
