Acacia havilandiorum, also known as Haviland's wattle or needle wattle,

Victoria
.

Description

The bushy shrub or small typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 4 metres (5 to 13 ft)

seed pods which are straight to curved and raised over each seed and slightly constricted between them and have a length of 3 to 9 cm (1.2 to 3.5 in) and a width of 2 to 3 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).[4]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Joseph Maiden in 1920 as Acacia havilandi,[5][6] despite the specific epithet honouring both Edwin Haviland and his son,[4] who " specialised in the fertilisation of Australian plants and (have) also worked at taxonomy and other branches of botany"[5][6] The epithet was changed to a genitive plural (havilandiorum) to accord with ICN Art. 60.8 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).[5]

Distribution

The plant has a scattered and discontinuous distribution from as far west as the

Pilliga Scrub between Gilgandra and Milgee as a part of mallee and box woodland communities.[4]
