Acacia linarioides is a spreading wattle shrub from the Top End of the Northern Territory, Australia, growing up to about 2.5 m with golden yellow flower spikes. It is grown mainly for its native and ornamental value and does best in a sunny, well-drained, sandy or sandstone-type site.
Acacia linarioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Top End of the Northern Territory, Australia. It is a spreading shrub with smooth, dark grey bark, sometimes hairy branchlets, crowded linear to narrowly oblong phyllodes, spikes of golden yellow flowers, and straight to curved or open coiled pods, constricted between and raised over the seeds.
This species of wattle usually grows in soils derived from sandstone on plateaux or in crevices, among rocks and in sand near creeks in the Top End of the Northern Territory and on some islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, in the Arnhem Coast, Arnhem Plateau, Central Arnhem, Darwin Coastal, Gulf Fall and Uplands and Pine Creek bioregions.
