Acacia nigricans is a species of wattle which is endemic to an area on the south coast of Western Australia. It is a shrub which ranges from 0.4 to 2 metres in height. It produces yellow, globular flowers between mid-winter and late spring.[1]
The species was formally described in 1807 by French naturalist Jacques Labillardière who gave it the name Mimosa nigricans, based on plant material collected from Esperance.[2] It was transferred to the genus Acacia in 1813 by botanist Robert Brown.[3]
