Acacia lucasii
Also called Woolly Bear Wattle
Acacia lucasii, commonly known as woolly-bear wattle or Lucas's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the southeastern corner of mainland Australia. It is a shrub with hairy branchlets, crowded elliptic to narrowly elliptic or lance-shaped phyllodes, oblong heads of bright light golden yellow flowers, and hairy, oblong to narrowly oblong, thinly leathery to crusty pods.
Woolly-bear wattle is only known from two areas of the Great Dividing Range. It grows in rocky areas on granite or quartzite, sometimes in heath, or often as an understorey shrub in forest or woodland on the upper Tuross River area in New South Wales and on the Nunniong Plateau in Victoria.
