About

Acacia microcalyx is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a more or less rounded shrub with many branches, rigid, somewhat spiny branchlets, only a few linear phyllodes, spherical heads of cream-coloured flowers, and thinly leathery pods rounded over the seeds and constricted between them.

Where it grows

This species of wattle grows on plains and floodplains in sand to clay soils with species of Atriplex or Halosarcia, mostly commonly around Shark Bay but extending inland to Mount Magnet, near Payne's Find and Belele Station in the Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of inland Western Australia.
