Acacia lobulata
Chiddarcooping wattle (Acacia lobulata) is a rare, endangered, spindly shrub of the pea family, endemic to a tiny area of Western Australia. It is not a common garden plant, so care notes below are general guidance for wattles of this type.
Acacia lobulata, commonly known as Chiddarcooping wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the a small area of the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, open, often spindly shrub, with glabrous, resinous branchlets, ascending curved, terete phyllodes, usually spherical heads of yellow flowers, and linear, strongly curved, thinly papery pods raised over the seeds. It was declared as rare flora in 1997 and is now listed as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Chiddarcooping wattle is native to a small area in the Avon Wheatbelt and Coolgardie bioregions of Western Australia where it grows in gritty loam and sandy soils at the foot of decomposing granite breakaways in woodland and shrubland. The range of the plant is only about 17 km (11 mi) containing three populations adjacent to the Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve in the Westonia and Nungarin Shires, with Acacia andrewsii, Daviesia nematophylla, Eucalyptus yilgarnensis, Melaleuca uncinata and Austrodanthania setacea species.
