Acacia cana, or commonly named as boree or the cabbage-tree wattle or broad-leaved nealie, is part of the family Fabaceae and sub-family Mimosoideae.

[2][3] The cabbage-tree wattle heavily flowers from August till October and relies on animals and insects for pollination and dispersal of seeds.

[7] Acacia cana is found in New South Wales western plains e.g near white cliffs, The Sturt National Park and Merindee.

[2][5][7][8] These areas are woodlands that can be widely scattered that are made up of sandy soils and gibber plains (desert pavement).

[12][13] Acacias were not only used as bush tucker but as wood for certain aboriginal tools for example hunting and fishing spears.
