About Acacia sertiformis A.Cunn.

Acacia sertiformis A.Cunn. is a shrub that typically grows to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall, with an open, sparsely branched habit and downward-arching branches. Its branchlets are sparsely to moderately hairy, and may be coated in a white powder. The dull grey-green phyllodes are widely spread and rotated relative to the branchlet. They are most often convex, with a broadly elliptic to orbicular shape, measuring 10 to 25 millimetres (0.39 to 0.98 in) in length and 9 to 20 millimetres (0.35 to 0.79 in) in width. This shrub flowers year-round. It produces simple inflorescences made of spherical flower-heads, 9 to 11 mm (0.35 to 0.43 in) in diameter, that hold 25 to 75 densely packed deep yellow flowers. After flowering, it forms straight to curved, firmly leathery brown seed pods. The pods are broadly oblong, and measure 30 to 70 mm (1.2 to 2.8 in) in length and 12 to 17 mm (0.47 to 0.67 in) in width. This species is endemic to a small area of eastern Australia, ranging from around Barakula, Wallangarra and Goombungee in south eastern Queensland in the north, south to around Dubbo in New South Wales. It grows in a variety of habitats in stony sandy-loam soils, as a component of open Eucalyptus or Callitris woodland communities.
