Acacia faucium is a tree belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to north eastern Australia.

Description

The tree typically grows to a maximum height of Шаблон:Cvt. It has acutely angular and rather scurfy branchlets that are sparsely and minutely haired on young plants. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The rather chartaceous phyllodes are straight or slightly sickle shaped and are widest above the middle with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Cvt and are glabrous to slightly hairy on younger plants with parallel longitudinal nerves.[1] The simple inflorescences occur as cylindrical flower-spikes that are Шаблон:Cvt in length and are moderately densely packed with yellow flowers. After flowering cartilaginous brown-black seed pods form that have a linear with a length of around Шаблон:Cvt and a width of about Шаблон:Cvt. The pods are glabrous and straight with a powdery white coating and thick, yellowish marginal nerves and longitudinally arranged seeds inside. The pale brown seeds are Шаблон:Cvt in length and around Шаблон:Cvt wide with a yellow and folded funicle.[1]

Distribution

It is endemic to the eastern-central parts of Queensland where it has a disjunct distribution. It is found as far north as the headwaters of Torrens Creek catchment in the White Mountains where it is often situated in sandstone gorges but is also found further to the south around Шаблон:Cvt north of Clermont where it grows in broken country.[1]
