About

Acacia insolita is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub or subshrub sometimes with bipinnate leaves with one pair of pinnae, each with two to twelve pairs of lance-shaped to narrowly oblong or elliptic pinnules, or with narrowly linear phyllodes. The flowers are cream-coloured to golden yellow and arranged in spherical heads and the pods are linear to narrowly oblong, crusty and glabrous.

Where it grows

Subspecies insolita grows in laterite, mainly in Eucalyptus forest or woodland and occurs in the Darling Range from Dwellingup and south to Nannup in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
