Acacia redolens, commonly known as the Bank Catclaw or the Desert Carpet,[1] is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves. It is native to an area along the southern coast in the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia.[2]
The spreading fragrant shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 3 metres (2 to 10 ft). It blooms from August to October and produces yellow flowers.
The plant is considered an invasive weed in areas of California where it was used as a fast growing groundcover along freeways. It is particularly problematic in the San Gabriel Valley and Mission Valley.[1]
