Acacia cana Maid. |
|
Leguminosae Boree
|
A tree with a long trunk, rather sparse branches and a rounded top. The bark is
furrowed and flaky, dry and grey. The leaves are long and narrow, silvery
grey with very fine parallel veins. The flowers are yellow and wattle-like.
It is common in central and north-eastern Queensland and extends southward
along the Grey Range, mainly on pebbly clay soils on the edges of the Mitchell
grass country. It is eaten fairly readily by sheep, but is reported to cause
impaction after about six weeks of continuous feeding (Everist, 1969).
