Acacia wanyu
Acacia wanyu, commonly known as wanyu or silver-leaf mulga, is a shrub or tree belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is endemic to arid parts of western Australia. The Kurrama people know it as murruturu or yirritiri while the Nyangumarta people know it as wayartany.
It is native to an area in the Mid West and Pilbara regions of Western Australia where it is often situated on sand plains or along creeklines and drainage lines where it is found growing in stony clay or loamy or red sandy soils. The species has a scattered distribution with the bulk of the population being found from around Pannawonica in the north west to around Pingandie Station in the Asburton district in the south and out to the Great Sandy Desert in the east with several outlying populations further south. It is commonly a part of low scrub and taller shrubland communities featuring Acacia aneura and other Acacia species.
