Acacia barrettiorum, commonly known as the Barrett's wattle,[1] is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves. It is native to an area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.[2]

Description

The shrub typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has glabrous branchlets that are scarred in places where the phyllodes are lost and with caducous stipules that are Шаблон:Cvt in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The crowded, patent and evergreen phyllodes have a triangular to oblong-triangular shape with a broad base. The phyllodes are Шаблон:Cvt in length and Шаблон:Cvt wide and have three to seven indistinct longitudinal nerves per face.[3]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanists Margaret Lewington and Bruce Maslin in 2009 as part of the work Three new species of Acacia (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) from the Kimberley Region, Western Australia as published in the journal Nuytsia.[1][4] The type specimen was collected by Matthew David Barrett and Russell Lindsay Barrett,[3] and both the common name and the species epithet honour them.[4]

Distribution

The range of the plant is entirely within Prince Regent Nature Reserve,[3] in the Northern Kimberley region[2] of Western Australia where two small disjunct populations are known. The shrub is often situated near creeks in fire-protected areas growing in shallow sandy soils over and around sandstone as a part of low shrubland communities featuring spinifex.[3]
