Acacia maitlandii

Pedley Acacia maitlandii, also known as Maitland's wattle, is a perennial tree native to Australia.

The glabrous phyllodes are straight with a narrowly elliptic shape and are 0.8 to 2.5 centimetres (0.3 to 1.0 in) in length and 1 to 3 millimetres (0.04 to 0.12 in) wide.

[4] The plant is named for an early European explorer of Australia's Northwest, Maitland Brown, who collected the type specimen.

[3] It was later reclassified as Racosperma maitlandii by Leslie Pedley in 1986 but transferred back into the genus Acacia in 2001.

[5] Acacia maitlandii is found in all mainland states of Australia, except Victoria,[3] and is not considered to be threatened with extinction.
