Acacia menzelii
Also called Tallebung Wattle
Acacia menzelii, commonly known as Menzel's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It is a compact, rounded, spreading, resinous, sticky shrub with hairy branchlets, terete to flat, linear phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and linear, thinly leathery to papery pods, scarcely constricted between the seeds.
Menzel's wattle has a discontinuous distribution from Mount Hack and the North Flinders Ranges to Murray Bridge in South Australia. It grows in gorges or on rocky hillsides in brown to grey calcareous loamy soils in scrubby Eucalyptus woodland.
