Acacia lanigera
Also called Woolly Wattle
Acacia lanigera, commonly known as woolly wattle or hairy wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-east of continental Australia. It is a rigid shrub with hairy branchlets, leathery, narrowly elliptic, linear or lance-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical to oblong heads of golden yellow flowers, and linear, curved to coiled, leathery pods covered with shaggy or woolly hairs.
The species prefers a well-drained sunny situation and will tolerate frosts down to −7 Celsius. It is adaptable to use in situations where maintenance is infrequent such as road batters.
The species occurs in New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.
