About

Acacia latzii, also known as Latz's wattle or Tjilpi wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Finke bioregion of Central Australia. It is a shrub or tree with narrowly linear to linear, curved phyllodes, spherical heads of small resinous flowers and linear, leathery pods slightly raised over and constricted between the seeds.

Where it grows

Latz's wattle is found growing in skeletal alkaline soil in gullies and rocky slopes in open shrubland, sometimes with Acacia aneura, but is only knopwn from Bacon and Beddome Ranges in the southern Northern Territory and South Australia near the Northern Territory border.
