Acacia jackesiana, also known as Betsy's wattle,[1] is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to north eastern Australia.[2]
It is named for the botanist Dr Betsy Jackes (1935–), a professor at the James Cook University of North Queensland.
Description
The prostrate shrub typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert and has red-brown coloured angular branchlets. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen, glabrous phyllodes have a tetragonous-terete cross-section and are Шаблон:Cvt in length and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The phyllodes are made up of overlapping scaly lobes and have one dominant nerve at each angle with a total of 8 to 12 nerves. It blooms from July and October producing yellow flowers.[2] The cylindrical flower-spikes have a length of Шаблон:Cvt packed with golden coloured flowers. The sub-woody, glabrous seed pods that form after flowering are linear and tapered at each end. The pods have a length of Шаблон:Cvt with prominent fawn coloured margins. The light brown seeds inside are arranged longitudinally and have an elliptic shape with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and have a thin pleurogram.[2]
Distribution
It is endemic to parts of north-eastern Queensland including around the Argentine mine which is found approximately Шаблон:Cvt south west of Townsville where it is situated on plains and in gorges growing in brown loamy soils overlying Argentine schist bedrock as a part of Eucalyptus woodland communities.[2]
