Acacia merrickiae, Merrick's wattle, is a spindly, open, usually single-stemmed shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its golden yellow flower heads. It is a native shrub that needs full sun and well-drained soil.
Acacia merrickiae, commonly known as Merrick's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spindly, open, glabrous, commonly single-stemmed shrub with branchlets covered by a powdery bloom, elliptic to egg-shaped, leathery phyllodes, spherical to slightly oblong heads of light golden yellow flowers, and linear pods rounded over and more or less slightly constricted between the seeds.
This species of wattle grows in clay and sandy loam in open woodland, and is only known from near Kellerberrin and Mukinbudin in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion in the south-west of Western Australia.
