Acacia pachypoda is a spreading, prickly shrub from south-western Australia, usually 0.3 to 0.7 m tall, with rigid green phyllodes and cream-yellow flower heads in August to September. It is a rarely grown wild shrub suited to dry, sunny, well-drained sites, and little is documented about cultivating it.
Acacia pachypoda is a species of shrub in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to south western Australia.
It is native to an area in the eastern Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it is commonly situated on low rocky hills and undulating plains growing in rocky clay or sandy or stony loam soils. It has a scattered distribution from around Coolgardie in the north west to around the Frank Hann National Park in the south and east out to around Fraser Range as a part of Eucalyptus woodland or Mallee scrubland communities.
