Acacia amoena, commonly known as boomerang wattle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.
The seeds are oblong to elliptic or egg-shaped, 3.5–5 mm (0.14–0.20 in) long and black with a club-shaped aril.
[2][3][4][5] Acacia amoena first formally described by the botanist Heinrich Wendland in 1820 in his book, Commentatio de Acaciis aphyllis.
[2] Boomerang wattle is found along the Great Dividing Range in western parts of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria where it is often a part of dry sclerophyll forest or open woodland communities[4] on rocky slopes and creek banks[2] growing in rocky soils.
[4] The bulk of the population has a discontinuous distribution from around Walcha in the north down to the upper reaches of the Snowy River north-eastern Victoria.
