Acacia flavescens A.Cunn. ex Benth.

Unarmed tree to 10 m high. Branchlets angular, with moderately dense stellate hairs. Phyllodes ovate, falcate, acute, usually long-tapering, 9-24 by (l-)2-4(-5.5) cm, 3-6(-9.5) times as long as wide, with 3 prominent longitudinal veins, the upper two ending at the margin at an indentation, usually associated with a gland, the adaxial one ending at the apex, nerves finely transversely reticulate; basal gland prominent with distinct rim and elongate orifice, 2 mm, and in addition 3 or more smaller but conspicuous glands in indentations along upper margin, pulvinus rather long. Flowering heads of (30-)40-50 flowers, grouped in terminal or sometimes compound panicles, up to 30 cm wide, densely yellowish hairy. Flowers yellow, pentamerous, bisexual. Pod flat, slightly winged, shining, with transverse veins and scattered hairs when young, 6-12 by 1.5-2 cm. Seeds transverse, c. 6 by 4 mm, pleurogram large, open; funicle ribbon-like, folded and finally expanded into cupular aril.

Coastal lowlands. Mainly found on the gently undulating coastal plain, but also extends to the slopes of the coastal ranges and tablelands; at elevations up to 1,000 metres.

"Fast growing, coppices well, and has been used as a fodder crop for cattle. The bark contains 10–26 % tannin and the hard, close-grained wood makes good firewood." (Beasley 2009: 30).

Can be grown by cuttings or seedlings. Seeds needs soaking.
