Acacia jucunda

Acacia jucunda, commonly known as yetman wattle, is a shrub or tree belonging to the genus "Acacia" and the subgenus "Phyllodineae" that is endemic to north eastern Australia and is considered to be endangered in New South Wales.
Description.
The shrub or tree typically grows to a height of and has smooth to finely fissured, grey coloured bark and glabrous branchlets often coated with a fine white powder that are angled towards the apices. Like many species of "Acacia" it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen oblanceolate to narrowly oblong-elliptic shaped phyllodes are straight or slightly curved. The grey-green phyllodes have a length of and a width of and have minute erect hairs with a prominent midvein. It blooms between July and September. 
Taxonomy.
The species was first formally described by the botanists Joseph Maiden and William Blakely in 1927 as part of the work "New Queensland Acacias" as published in the "Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland". It was reclassified as "Racosperma jucundum" in 1987 by Leslie Pedley then transferred back to genus "Acacia" in 2001.
The specific epithet means lovely and is in references to the flowering display of the plant. It looks quite similar to "Acacia podalyriifolia" which has phyllodes that are wider and has longer hairs.
Distribution.
It is native to an area to southern Queensland extending into northern New South Wales particularly in the Yetman district close to the border of Queensland on the north west slopes of New South Wales. Although reasonably rae in New south Wales it is quite common in Queensland. It is mostly located in dry "Eucalyptus" sclerophyll woodland communities growing in sandy to sandy-loam soils sandy to sandy-loam soils or among dry ranges in clay-loam to loamy soils.
