Acacia maitlandii, also known as Maitland's wattle, is a perennial tree native to Australia.

Description

The shrub has an open and spindly habit, with a height of {{convert|0.7|to|3.0|m|ft|0}}.[2] The resinous and glabrous branchlets are generally terete in form. The glabrous phyllodes are straight with a narrowly elliptic shape and are {{convert|0.8|to|2.5|cm|in|2}} in length and {{convert|1|to|3|mm|in|3}} wide.[3] Flowers are yellow and occur sometime between May and October.[2] The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axil of the phyllodes. The globose flower heads with a diameter of {{convert|4|to|5|mm|in|3|abbr=on}} and contain 35 to 60 bright yellow flowers. Following flowering smooth papery seed pods form. The pods are straight and slightly constricted between seeds with a length of {{convert|4|to|5|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} and {{convert|3|to|4|mm|in|3|abbr=on}} wide.[3]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1862 as part of the work Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[2] The plant is named for an early European explorer of Australia's Northwest, Maitland Brown, who collect the type specimen.[3] It was later reclassified as Racosperma maitlandii by Leslie Pedley in 1986 but transferred back into the genus Acacia in 2001.[4]

Distribution

Acacia maitlandii is found in northern regions of all mainland states of Australia, except Victoria,[3] and is not considered to be threatened with extinction.[2] The favoured soil type is red sand, or stony ground, the habitat is sandy or stony plains, and on hills.[5]

Uses

The species is used to make boomerangs and spearthrowers, the gum produced is edible. The tree is called Garrga in the languages of the Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma people.[6]

The seeds have been identified, analysed, and monitored, as a 'wild harvested Australian indigenous food', by Food Standards Australia New Zealand. The product is found to very high in fats, over half by weight.[7]
