Acacia lumholtzii
Girringun wattle is a shrub in the pea family, known from only a small area of north Queensland, Australia, where it grows on granite rock. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is limited and it is best grown in a warm, dry, sunny spot with good drainage.
Acacia lumholtzii, commonly known as Girringun wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small region of north Queensland, Australia. It is a shrub with cream-coloured bark, hairy branchlets, linear phyllodes, spherical heads of flowers, and linear, thinly crusty, dark brown pods.
Girringun wattle is confined to Bishop Peak in Girringun National Park where it grows on granitic rock pavements and cliffs.
