Acacia subtessarogona, commonly known as spreading gidgee, is a tree in the family Fabaceae and the subgenus Juliflorae that is native to a small area in western Australia.
Description
Spreading gidgee grows as an upright tree to a height of up to Template:Cvt and has ribbed branchlets that are densely hired between each of the ribs. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are flat, curved, and have a length of about Template:Cvt and a width of Template:Cvt and have longitudinal striations. When it between July and October[1] it produces simple inflorescences that occur in groups of one to five in the axils on Template:Cvt long stalks. The flower-heads are a short cylindrical shape with a length of Template:Cvt and densely packed with yellow flowers. The seed pods that form after flowering have a length of Template:Cvt with a distinctive groove along each edge. The seeds insode are Template:Cvt long and have an obloid shape.[2]
Distribution
Endemic to Western Australia, it occurs only in a small area of the Gascoyne River catchment near Carnarvon with outlying population near Wiluna.[2] It is often found situated in low-lying area, along creeklines[1] or on rocky ground growing in red loamy soils and is commonly associated with Acacia sclerosperma and Acacia tetragonophylla and sometimes with Acacia ancistrocarpa.[2]
