Endemic to Australia, it is widely distributed through arid and semi-arid inland areas of Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. DescriptionWanderrie wattle grows as a spreading shrub with many stems, to a height of about four metres. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are a bright green colour, flat, up to nine centimetres long and 1{{sfrac|1|2}} centimetres wide. The flowers are yellow, and held in cylindrical clusters between one and two centimetres long. The pods are papery, about seven centimetres long and 1{{sfrac|1|2}} centimetres wide. UsesThe common name "witchetty bush" refers to the fact that Australian Aboriginals obtain witchetty grubs from the roots. The bush also provides edible gum and seeds.
