Summary
Acacia melleodora, commonly known as scented wax wattle, is a shrub endemic to arid parts of central Australia. It is known by various names in indigenous languages, and has a V-shaped or rounded glabrous and resinous shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.0 to 4.0 metres (3.3 to 13.1 ft). It produces yellow flowers from May to September with a distinctive honey-like odour, and after flowering brown and narrowly oblong seed pods form. It is closely related to A. dictyophleba, Acacia jensenii and Acacia sabulosa, and is native to southern and central parts of the Northern Territory, the north western corner of South Australia, central Queensland and the Kimberley , Pilbara and Goldfields regions of Western Australia. It is commercially available as seedlings or in seed form, and Aborigines used the shrub to make toys, traps weapons and implements.
