Acacia irrorata
Also called Blueskin, Sydney Green Wattle, Ferny Wattle, Blue Skin
Acacia irrorata, colloquially known as green wattle or blueskin, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub or tree with bipinnate leaves with 5 to 21 pairs of pinnae, each with 15 to 72 pairs of crowded, overlapping pinnules, spherical heads of pale yellow to cream-coloured flowers and straight or curved pods.
Green wattle is mainly found on the coast and ranges of New South Wales and south-east Queensland, north from Bermagui in forest or the edges of rainforest, often near watercourses.
