Named for the difficulty distinguishing it from other acacias. Very common.
Acacia dimidiata
Common name: Swamp wattle. 'Dimidiata' means 'halved', referring to the asymmetrical leaves. I have only seen it toward the north of the block.
Acacia elachantha (formerly cowleana)
Common name: Halls Creek wattle
Elachantha means small flower, referring to the flowers being smaller than those of A. cowleana.
Acacia gonoclada
Often spindly, fairly uncommon.
Acacia hemignosta
Common name: Club leaf wattle. Occurs to the northern end of the block. 'Hemignosta' means 'partly known'.
Acacia holosericea
Common name : Broad leaf wattle. There is plenty of this one. 'Holosericea' means 'wholly silky', referring to the downy hairs on the phyllodes.
seedling with true leaves
Acacia lamprocarpa
Common name: Hickory wattle. Tends to grow as isolated plants, the form less shrubby than many wattles.
Acacia neurocarpa
We don't have a great amount of this but it tends to grow in shrubby thickets.
Acacia platycarpa
Common names: Pindan wattle, Ghost wattle. There are small areas of ghost wattle on Sunday Creek. It is striking in flower in the early dry season. The bark is dark and fibrous on the lower parts and smooth and white above.
Acacia sericophylla
Common names: Desert dogwood, cork bark wattle. This is not a very common plant at Sunday Creek.
Acacia shirleyi
Common name: Lancewood. Can form thick stands but only occurs in small areas towards the southern end of the property. When it grows thickly it tends to be fairly straight and is the preferred timber for fence rails.
Acacia umbellata
This acacia is not very common here.
Acacia victoriae
Acacia victoriae grows in isolated pockets on black soil creek floodouts.
