Acacia denticulosa, also known as Sandpaper Wattle, is a species of Acacia native to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spindly shrub that grows from 1 metre to 4 metres high. It flowers from late winter to early spring, producing dense, curved, yellow flower spikes.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1876 by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller based on plant material collected from the vicinity of Mount Churchman by Jess Young.[3]
