Leguminosae
Common names
Yarran.
Characteristics
A tree with clean trunk and leafy head; bark dark grey, rough,
finely furrowed; leaves green, narrow, usually straight; flowers yellow,
in balls. There are several forms of this species in Queensland, occurring
mostly in the 500- to 625-mm rainfall belt on clay and clay loams. Sometimes
they form dense clumps. The leaves are eaten readily and are regarded as
about equal to Acacia pendula (myall) in fodder value (Everist, 1969).
