Acacia holosericea
Spreading shrub to 3 m by 4 m with large, obovate, very glaucous phyllodes. Bears yellow rod-shaped flowers. Masses of twisted pods are a feature of the plant even after the seed has fallen. In some area they are referring to the twisted pods as 'soap', as they are sticky and tend to remove dirt from the skin when crushed in the hands. Distribution: Qld., NT, WA (northern areas).
