Leguminosae
Synonyms
A. sentis.
Common names
Gundabluey or gundabluie.
Characteristics
Large shrub or small tree, usually much branched, the fine
twigs often dead at the tips; leaves green or bluish green, narrow, straight,
with a prominent midrib; flowers pale yellow, in balls. Grows mainly in
open grassland in the 375- to 500-mm rainfall belt from the southern border
to the Barkly Tableland in Queensland. Although it does not produce any
great bulk of forage, it is eaten readily and is a valuable supplement
in the dry season. During a succession of very wet years it can increase
to such an extent that it becomes a nuisance, particularly around watering
places (Everist, 1969).
