Acacia mollifolia
Acacia mollifolia, commonly known as the hairy silver wattle, velvet acacia and hoary silver wattle is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, and is endemic to the New South Wales, Australia. It is a spreading or erect shrub to small tree with terete branchlets, silvery grey bipinnate leaves, spherical heads of bright yellow flowers, and straight to slightly curved pods that usually somewhat resemble a string of beads.
Hairy silver wattle is endemic to inland New South Wales and mainly occurs west of Peakhill, Boorowa and Bathurst to near Rankins Springs, where it grows in forest or open woodland, usually on sandstone and often on ridges.
