linophylla, commonly known as bowgada, wanderry mulga, horse mulga or sometimes wanyu, is a subspecies of the tree species Acacia ramulosa, with which it shares several common names.

This species grows as a spreading shrub or low tree, up to four metres long and often wider than it is high.

Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves.

These are greyish green in colour, round in cross-section, and held almost vertically; they may be up to thirteen centimetres long and two millimetres in diameter.

The flowers are yellow, and held in cylindrical clusters about two centimetres long.
