Drummond's wattle
Definition
A dwarf species of ornamental shrub, endemic to the southwestern regions of Western Australia, renowned for its outstanding structural elegance. Unlike many acacia species that develop phyllodes, Acacia drummondii retains its true leaves, featuring a fine, delicate, evergreen, bipinnate foliage of a deep green hue. The plant is distinguished during its flowering season by its atypical, cylindrical, and pendulous inflorescences (resembling catkins or tassels) of an intense canary-yellow, making it considered one of the most refined and decorative small species within the genus.
