Acacia spondylophylla, commonly known as curry wattle, is a small, flat topped shrub native to Central and Western Australia. The leaves, which are arranged on spaced whorls around the stem, have a distinctive curry-like smell.[1][2]
The species is naturally found growing in stony and sandy soils, and has been brought into cultivation for arid area gardening.[3][4]
