Acacia unguicula
Nyingarn Wattle (Acacia unguicula) is a small shrub in the pea family, known from only a few populations near Mount Singleton in Western Australia. It is rarely grown outside its native range, and it is best kept in a sunny, well-drained spot in a warm, dry climate.
Acacia unguicula is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves. It is native to a small area in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
A. unguicula is known from three populations on a pastoral lease at Mount Singleton, approximately 280 kilometres (174 mi) south-east of Geraldton near Yalgoo. It is found on the upper slopes and summit of Mt Singleton among open scrubland, growing in rocky clay, brown clayey sand or brown loamy soils with dolerite.
