Racosperma filicifolium Pedley Acacia filicifolia, commonly known as fern-leaved wattle, is a plant in the legume family, Fabaceae and is native to eastern Australia.

Acacia filicifolia is an erect shrub or tree which grows to a height of 3–14 m (10–50 ft) and has smooth grey or dark brown bark which develops fissures as it ages.

The inflorescence is a branching panicle with the flowers in spherical heads on peduncles 2–4 mm (0.08–0.2 in) long.

[2]Acacia filicifolia was first formally described in 1932 by Edwin Cheel and Marcus Baldwin Welch but they did not nominate a type specimen.

[2] Fern-leaved wattle grows in forest in sandy soil, often in gullies and creeks from south-eastern Queensland to Batemans Bay in southern New South Wales.
