About Acacia spectabilis A.Cunn. ex Benth.
Acacia spectabilis, commonly known as Mudgee wattle, is an erect or spreading shrub that is endemic to Australia. It reaches a height between 1.5 and 4 metres, and has pinnate leaves. In its native range, bright-yellow globular flowerheads grow in axillary racemes, and they mostly appear between July and November. After flowering, the plant produces thin leathery seed pods that measure 4 to 17 centimetres long and 10 to 19 millimetres wide. This species grows naturally in dry sclerophyll forest and heath habitats in New South Wales and Queensland, and it is commonly cultivated.
