Acacia longifolia var. longifolia

Sydney Golden Wattle 

Family: Mimosaceae

This hardy wattle is widespread, but usually short lived. Its main habitat is along creeks and swamps, but will quickly "move into" cleared or disturbed ground. It is a large rounded shrub or small tree growing to 3-4m.

The 8-20cm phyllodes are green, thin, and fairly stiff, distinguished by 2 main veins, one more prominent than the other.

Flowering time is July - November. The flowers are golden yellow and cylindrical.
