Acacia spectrum, also known as Kimberley ghost wattle, is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves that is endemic to arid parts of north western Australia.
Description
The shrub typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has slender stems, pendulous branched and an open habit with a wispy and open crown. It has glabrous branchlets with caducous stipules that are often covered in a fine white and powdery coating. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen and glabrous phyllodes have a filiform shape and are straight to slightly incurved with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Cvt and have four yellowish longitudinal nerves.[1]
Taxonomy
The species was first formally named as Acacia spectra by the botanists Margaret A. Lewington and Bruce Maslin in 2009 as a part of the work Three new species of Acacia (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) from the Kimberley Region, Western Australia as published in the journal Nuytsia.Шаблон:R[2] The holotype was collected in 2005 below sandstone cliffs along the Mitchell River. It grew abundantly in shrubland habitat with Acacia deltoidea, Acacia kelleri, and Grevillea cunninghamii.Шаблон:R
Distribution
It is native to a small area of the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia.[3] where it is limited to two separate populations situated approximately Шаблон:Cvt apart in the Mitchell River National Park where it is situated among sandstone outcrops growing in shallow sandy soils as a part of mixed shrubland communities[1]
