Woodman's Wattle  |  

Low, perennial shrub (1 – 2 m tall) with semi-prostrate, sprawling or tangled habit. Grows on massive ironstone outcrops and associated soils and dissected rocks. Bisexual plants, with presumed outbreeding. Fire response unknown. Presumed to be long-lived perennial. Has spinous, photosynthetic phyllodes which are decurrent on stem, giving stem winged appearance. Grows as either discrete individual shrubs or clumps of individuals within small sub-populations. Occurs in densities roughly estimated to range between 1 and 5 and up to 10 plants per 400m2. These sub-populations are dispersed over the landform, where they are closely associated with exposed BIF bedrock.
