Acacia cowleana, Halls Creek Wattle, is a northern Australian native shrub.[2] It is a flowering plant with yellow flowers that only open in winter.[3] Its origin is the Northern Australia's dry tropics.[4] It belongs to the genus of Acacia.
Appearance
It is a small tree of height 1–7 metres (6–12 feet) with large grey phyllodes and yellow rod flowers.[5] Its bark is fibrous. The phyllodes are 80 to 200 mm long by 10–30 mm wide and curved.[6]
Growth
The shrub grows in woodlands with spinifex at Beulah Station near Enngonia.[7] Its growth is medium-fast. It easily grows from seed but has a short life span.[8] It is a reliable shrub for temperate to arid climates in reasonably well drained soils. Though not generally considered to be endangered, the species is regarded as rare in New South Wales.[6][7] It is not commonly cultivated, though it is reported to be grown in California.[6]
