Small grove of wattles in a sheltered gully. Less than ten live plants plus a few dead ones. Maximum plant height 1.5m. Single flower heads erupting from axils, close to branchlets, usually two per phyllode but sometimes more. Phyllodes 5cm to 9cm long with blunt tips.

I think this is Acacia leprosa but there are a few characteristics such as the rounded end which don't fit the description. If it is leprosa it is an uncommon species within the CNM region.

Could A. stricta be a match? It has the rounded phyllode ends. No sightings on CNM, but ALA has records near Goulburn.
