Acacia ixiophylla:
is a medium, upright shrub and is a native of the Tablelands, Slopes and
Plains of New South Wales extending into Queensland. The species also occurs
in Western Australia. This is a very strange and disjunct distribution. Acacia
ixiophylla has sticky phyllodes that are about 30 mm long by 6 mm wide.
There is a gland at the base of each phyllode. Bright yellow, globular flowers
appear in spring. Acacia ixiophylla is a typical shrubby Wattle
suitable for cultivation in shrubberies and native hedgerows. Both foliage and
flowers are attractive features. As with most Wattles, prune each branch
behind the flowers as they fade. The species name means similar to the genus Ixia.
Propagation is by seed and probably cuttings.
