Acacia ammobia, commonly known as the Mount Connor wattle, is a species of Acacia native to central Australia.[1]
The multi-stemmed shrub or tree typically grows to a height of 2 to 7 metres (7 to 23 ft) and has longitudinally fissured grey to black bark. It has angular flattened glabrous branchlets that eventually become terete. The leaves are thin and erect leaves that are 11 to 20 centimetres (4 to 8 in) in length and 0.4 to 0.9 cm (0.16 to 0.35 in) wide.
It forms yellow cylindrical spike shaped flowers that are 2 to 5 cm (0.8 to 2.0 in) long followed by clusters of long thin seed pods[2]
