Acacia jackesiana, Betsy's wattle, is a low prostrate wattle shrub from north-eastern Queensland that bears golden yellow flower spikes. It suits dry, open, free-draining sites and is rarely grown outside its native range.
Acacia jackesiana, also known as Betsy's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a prostrate shrub with terete phyllodes, spikes of golden yellow flowers and linear, tapered, more or less woody pods rounded over the seeds.
This species of wattle occurs in the Undara Volcanic National Park, around Townsville, including on Magnetic Island, and in the Burdekin River and Leichhardt Range areas of north-eastern Queensland. It often grows on plains and in gorges in brown loamy soils overlying Argentine schist bedrock in Eucalyptus woodland.
