Acacia ryaniana is a low, prostrate, spiny wattle shrub from coastal Western Australia, growing to about 10 to 40 cm. It is grown for its tidy form and golden flower balls in winter and spring, and it needs full sun and excellent drainage.
Acacia ryaniana is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to an area along the west coast of Australia.
It is native to an area in the Mid West and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia from around Northampton in the south through to Exmouth in the north where it is found on coastal sand dunes growing in sandy or clay soils often over limestone as a part of scrubland or heathland communities, often associated with species of spinifex.
