''Acacia acoma'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to inland ares of south-western Western Australia. It is an erect, spindly, open or spreading shrub with variably-shaped, often narrowly oblong phyllodes, flowers arranged in spherical heads, usually arranged in pairs in leaf axils, and strongly curved or spirally coiled pods up to long when expanded. Description ''Acacia acoma'' is an erect, spindly, open or spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of and has smooth bark. Its phyllodes are variably-shaped, from narrowly oblong to elliptic or egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, mostly long and wide and often sessile. The flowers are borne in a 2-headed raceme long on a peduncle long, the heads spherical, in diameter with 30 to 37 golden-yellow flowers. Flowering occurs from July to October, and the pods are strongly curved or spirally coiled, up to long when expanded and wide, containing mottled black and yell ...

Baladjie Rock
Baladjie Rock is a granite rock formation located approximately north of Westonia, Western Australia, Westonia and approximately north west of Southern Cross, Western Australia, Southern Cross in the eastern Wheatbelt (Western Australia), Wheatbelt region of Western Australia and is part of the Baladjie Lake Nature Reserve. The reserve is situated within the Great Western Woodlands and is adjacent to the southern edge of the Baladjie salt lake system. The name of the rock is Aboriginal in origin but the meaning is not known. The spelling has been given as Balahgin, Baladgin, Balajie and Baladgee. The town of Baldjie that was established in 1928 took its name from the rock.

Acacias Of Western Australia
''Acacia'', commonly known as the wattles or acacias, is a large genus of shrubs and trees in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the pea family Fabaceae. Initially, it comprised a group of plant species native to Africa and Australasia. The genus name is New Latin, borrowed from the Greek (), a term used by Dioscorides for a preparation extracted from the leaves and fruit pods of ''Vachellia nilotica'', the original type of the genus. In his ''Pinax'' (1623), Gaspard Bauhin mentioned the Greek from Dioscorides as the origin of the Latin name. In the early 2000s it had become evident that the genus as it stood was not monophyletic and that several divergent lineages needed to be placed in separate genera. It turned out that one lineage comprising over 900 species mainly native to Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia was not closely related to the much smaller group of African lineage that contained ''A. nilotica''—the type species. This meant that the Australasian lineage (by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Acacia Species
Several Cladistics, cladistic analyses have shown that the genus ''Acacia sensu lato, Acacia'' is not monophyletic. While the subg. ''Acacia'' and subg. ''Phyllodinae'' are monophyletic, subg. ''Aculeiferum'' is not. This subgenus consists of three clades. Therefore, the following list of ''Acacia'' species cannot be maintained as a single entity, and must either be split up, or broadened to include species previously not in the genus. This genus has been provisionally divided into 5 genus, genera, ''Acacia'', ''Vachellia'', ''Senegalia'', ''Acaciella'' and ''Mariosousa''. The proposed type species of ''Acacia'' is ''Acacia penninervis''. Which of these segregate genera is to retain the name ''Acacia'' has been controversial. The genus was previously typified with the African species ''Acacia scorpioides'' (L.) W.F.Wright, a synonym of ''Acacia nilotica'' (L.) Delile. Under the original typification, the name ''Acacia'' would stay with the group of species currently recognized ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Department Of Biodiversity, Conservation And Attractions (Western Australia)
The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) is the Government of Western Australia, Western Australian government department responsible for managing lands and waters described in the ''Conservation and Land Management Act 1984'', the ''Rottnest Island Authority Act 1987'', the ''Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act 2006'', the ''Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority Act 1998'', and the ''Zoological Parks Authority Act 2001'', and implementing the state's conservation and environment legislation and regulations. The Department reports to the Minister for Environment and the Minister for Tourism. DBCA was formed on 1 July 2017 by the merger of the Department of Parks and Wildlife (Western Australia), Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW), the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, the Zoological Parks Authority and the Rottnest Island Authority. The former DPaW became the Parks and Wildlife Service. Status Parks and Wildlife Service The Formerly the Depar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
