Acacia jennerae
Coonavittra wattle is a drought-hardy shrub or small tree from arid inland Australia, grown for its ornamental golden flower heads and bead-like pods. It needs full sun, very free-draining sandy soil and minimal water once established.
Acacia jennerae commonly known as Coonavittra wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to arid parts of inland Australia. It is a shrub or tree with more or less straight, narrowly elliptic to narrowly lance-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of light golden yellow flowers and thinly leathery to firmly papery pods often appearing like a string of beads.
This species of wattle is found sporadically in arid and semi-arid areas of inland Australia, often in red, sandly soils, from near Kununoppin in Western Australia through South Australia and the Northern Territory to Wilcannia in New South Wales, and the Simpson Desert in far south-western Queensland.
