Acacia tarculensis
Also called Granite Wattle
Acacia tarculensis commonly known as granite wattle, granite bush or steel bush, is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to south central Australia.
It is endemic to southern parts of central South Australia from the northern parts of the Eyre Peninsula in the south to around areas to the west of the Gawler Range and to just north of Tarcoola where it is usually situated on rocky hillsides and ridges that are composed of granite as a part of open and tall shrubland or low woodland communities. It is often associated with other species of Acacia including Acacia aneura, Acacia cibaria and Acacia papyrocarpa growing in shallow compact loamy soils and alkaline red duplex and brown calcareous soils in areas where the average rainfall is 200 to 350 mm (7.9 to 13.8 in) per annum.
