Acacia juncifolia
Acacia juncifolia, rush-leaf wattle, is an erect or spreading, spindly shrub from eastern Australia, up to about 3 m tall, with thread-like phyllodes and pale yellow flower heads. It is grown in gardens where it can be given sandy, well-drained soil and full sun.
Acacia juncifolia, commonly known as rush-leaf wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading, somewhat spindly shrub, with rigid, linear, thread-like phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow to deep buttercup flowers, and firmly papery to thinly leathery pods raised over the seeds.
Rush-leaf wattle grows in shallow sand derived from sandstone, sometimes granite, in forest or woodland from near Port Clinton in Queensland to near Glenbrook in New South Wales, and inland for a maximum of 550 km (340 mi) inland.
