Leguminosae
Common names
Dead finish.
Characteristics
Shrub, usually with crooked irregular branches; leaves very
narrow, bright green with sharp points, borne in tufts on short branchlets
off the main branches, deciduous during the dry season; flowers bright
yellow, in balls; pods brown, very narrow and inclined to curl. In Queensland,
this species occurs only west of the Parvo River, mainly on hard red-brown
soils. It is eaten fairly readily but because the leaves are shed during
drought, they are not available under real drought conditions.
