Acacia ingramii: is
a rare wattle that only occurs in and around the gorge country, east of
Armidale in northern New South Wales. Nearly all the population is protected
in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. Acacia ingramii is a tall, dense
shrub or small tree with linear phyllodes about 100 mm long and with a small
hook on the end. The phyllodes often carry two glands on the margin. One is
situated near the base and the other about halfway along. In spring Acacia
ingramii becomes covered with bright yellow, globular flowers. Acacia
ingramii lights up the eastern gorge country in spring. It is one of the
most spectacular floral displays in northern New South Wales. The species will
also light up your garden and could be cultivated as an eye-catching specimen
plant.
Propagate from seeds and possibly cuttings. We are still experimenting with Acacia
ingramii cuttings.
