Acacia oligophleba Pedley[1] | |
Acacia cowleana, Halls Creek wattle,[2] is a northern Australia native shrub.[3] It is a flowering plant with yellow flowers that only open in winter.[4] Its origin is the Northern Australia's dry tropics.[5] It belongs to the genus of Acacia.
Appearance
It is a small tree of height 1–7 metres (6–12 feet) with large grey phyllodes and yellow rod flowers.[6] Its bark is fibrous. The phyllodes are 80 to 200 mm long by 10–30 mm wide and curved.[3]
Growth
The shrub grows in woodlands with spinifex at Beulah Station near Enngonia.[7] Its growth is medium-fast. It easily grows from seed but has a short life span.[8] It is a reliable shrub for temperate to arid climates in reasonably well drained soils. Though not generally considered to be endangered, the species is regarded as rare in New South Wales.[3][7] It is not commonly cultivated, though it is reported to be grown in California.[3]
Aboriginal names and uses
The Walmajarri people of the Paruku IPA in the Kimberley call this wattle parta.[9] Other Aboriginal names are: Alyawarr: alerrey; Anmatyerr: alkart; Jaru: barrabi. Kaytetye: elkerte; Pintupi Luritja: kilkiti; Waramangu: kalkkarti; and Warlpiri: kalkardi, parrapi.[2]
