Acacia argutifolia

Racosperma argutifolium (Maslin) Pedley Acacia argutifolia, commonly known as East Barrens wattle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia.

It is a low, spreading, intricate shrub with linear phyllodes, spherical heads of pale yellow flowers, and narrowly oblong, somewhat papery pods up to 40 mm (1.6 in) long.

Acacia argutifolia is a low, spreading, intricate shrub that typically grows to a height of 20–70 cm (7.9–27.6 in), dividing at ground level into three or four main branches.

[2][3][4][5] Acacia argutifolia was first formally described in 1976 by Bruce Maslin in the journal Nuytsia from specimens he collected in the Whoogarup Range, about 29 km (18 mi) west of Hopetoun in 1975.

[5] East Barrens wattle is mostly restricted to the Fitzgerald River National Park in the Esperance Plains bioregion of southern Western Australia,[2] where it grows in shallow sand over quartzite in low open heath, shrubland and mallee communities.
