Acacia burrowii Maid.

Leguminosae

Common names

Currawong.

Characteristics

Tree somewhat similar in appearance to A. doratoxylon, but usually not growing in dense scrubs. The tops are usually rounded and the leaves more curved. Occurs in somewhat stony soils in the 625 to 750-mm rainfall belt south of the tropics, in Queensland in the area from Tara to St. George. The leaves are eaten readily and in some districts the trees are cut for fodder in times of drought (Everist, 1969).
