Acacia mabellae
Also called Black Wattle
Acacia mabellae, commonly known as Mabels's wattle or black wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub or tree with glabrous branchlets angled at the outer end, sickle-shaped, usually narrowly elliptic phyllodes, spherical heads of creamy-white flowers, and narrowly oblong, thinly leathery, glabrous pods.
Mabels's wattle is native to eastern New South Wales on the near-coastal slopes of the Great Dividing Range from about 40 km (25 mi) west of Camden to near Bermagui, and inland to the Budawang Range. It grows in gullies in sandy soils in open Eucalyptus forest and woodland, sometimes on the margin of rainforest.
