Acacia maitlandii, also known as Maitland's wattle, is a perennial tree native to Australia.
Description
The shrub has an open and spindly habit, with a height of Шаблон:Convert.[1] The resinous and glabrous branchlets are generally terete in form. The glabrous phyllodes are straight with a narrowly elliptic shape and are Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert wide.[2] Flowers are yellow and occur sometime between May and October.[1] The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axil of the phyllodes. The globose flower heads with a diameter of Шаблон:Convert and contain 35 to 60 bright yellow flowers. Following flowering smooth papery seed pods form. The pods are straight and slightly constricted between seeds with a length of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert wide.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1862 as part of the work Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[3] The plant is named for an early European explorer of Australia's Northwest, Maitland Brown, who collected the type specimen.[2] It was later reclassified as Racosperma maitlandii by Leslie Pedley in 1986 but transferred back into the genus Acacia in 2001.[4]
Distribution
Acacia maitlandii is found in all mainland states of Australia, except Victoria,[2] and is not considered to be threatened with extinction.[1] The favoured soil type is red sand, or stony ground; the habitat is sandy or stony plains, and on hills.[1]
Uses
The species is used to make boomerangs and spearthrowers, and the gum produced is edible. The tree is called Garrga in the languages of the Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma people.[5] The seeds have been identified, analysed, and monitored, as a 'wild harvested Australian indigenous food', by Food Standards Australia New Zealand. The product is found to very high in fats, over half by weight.[6]
