Plant Group: Dicotyledon
Family Description:
Wattles range in height from tall forest trees to prostrate shrubs, occurring in a wide range of habitats. The true leaves are finely divided and are most conspicuous when plants are seedlings. Some species retain these divided leaves while others form leaf-like structures called phyllodes. The yellow flowers are tightly clustered into globular flowerheads or cylindrically-shaped spikes. The pods contain hard seeds.
