Acacia lanuginophylla, the woolly wattle, is a small dense shrub from a tiny area of south-western Western Australia, grown mainly for its woolly foliage and golden yellow flower balls. It is a drought-tolerant wattle that suits sunny, free-draining sites.
Acacia lanuginophylla or woolly wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a dense shrub with branchlets densely covered with woolly white hairs, narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblong phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and oblong, thinly crusty pods, densely covered with woolly white hairs.
Woolly wattle grows along drainage lines on flats in san or gravelly soils in low, open scrub and is only known from near Lake Biddy north of Newdegate and Lake Lockhart, about 30 km (19 mi) south, in the Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
