Acacia saxicola
Mount Maroon wattle (Acacia saxicola) is a small, multi-branched shrub from a very small area of south-east Queensland, growing in rocky crevices. It is a rare plant, so grow it only from legitimate nursery stock and provide sharp drainage and full sun.
Acacia saxicola, commonly known as Mount Maroon wattle, is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae native to eastern Australia.
It is endemic only in a small area around Mount Maroon in the Mount Barney National Park in south eastern Queensland to the south of Boonah where it is found at elevations of around 900 m (3,000 ft) on rocky slopes and in crevices growing in thin sandy-loam soils as a part of heathland communities. It is mostly found in pockets of soil found in the crevices of the rocks.
