Acacia leprosa
Also called Leper Wattle
Acacia leprosa, also known as cinnamon wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading, sticky, aromatic shrub, occasionally a tree, elliptic or narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped phyllodes, usually two spherical heads of pale yellow flowers and thinly leathery to firmly papery pods.
The species prefers a well-drained sunny or lightly shaded situation. Propagation is by pretreated seeds or cuttings.
This species of wattle has a scattered distribution in eastern Australia along the Great Dividing Range from southern Queensland, through New South Wales to the Grampians in Victoria and is also found in Tasmania.
