Acacia boormanii

The Snowy River wattle is a member of the pea or Fabaceae family and is a suckering, multi-stemmed shrub native to southeastern Australia. It can grow up to 4.5 m tall.

• Leaves, like most species of Acacia, are phyllodes [modified petioles or leaf stems] rather than true leaves; they are narrowly linear to narrowly oblanceolate or oblong to narrowly elliptic, flat, 3–6.5 cm long and 1–5 mm wide, straight or slightly curved, narrowed at base, normally obliquely and excentrically mucronate, thin, usually green to grey-green, at least when young.
• Flowers are 5–10-headed racemes, axes 1–4 cm long, slender, straight to flexuose, glabrous to subglabrous, slightly pruinose especially when young; peduncles 2–4 mm long, slender, glabrous to subglabrous; heads prolific, globular, 5–8 mm diam., 5–10-flowered, golden, sweet-scented. Flowers are 5 merous, sepals united.
• Fruit is a linear pod, up to 9 cm long and 4–6.5 mm wide, firmly papery, glabrous, dehiscing unilaterally.
