Acacia pyrifolia
Ranji bush (Acacia pyrifolia) is a Western Australian desert shrub or small tree, up to about 4.5 m, with grey-green phyllodes and golden flower heads in winter and spring. It needs full sun, excellent drainage and very little water once established.
Acacia pyrifolia, commonly known as ranji bush is a shrub that is endemic to the north of Western Australia.
The plant is found in the Pilbara, Kimberley and northern parts of the Mid West regions of Western Australia where it is situated along watercourses, on plains and lower slopes and along road-sides growing in sand or loamy clay or alluvial sand or skeletal soils often over or around sandstone. Its range extends from around Carnarvon in the west to around Meektharra in the south to Rudall River National Park in the east and Wallal Downs in the north. It is also found near Windjana Gorge to around Halls Creek in the southern part of the Kimberley.
