Acacia pedleyi, also known as Pedley's wattle,[1] is a species of Acacia native to eastern Australia.[2] It is considered to be an endangered species according to the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992.[1]
The slender and erect tree typically grows to a height of 10 metres (33 ft) and has smooth grey to green bark that becomes rough close to the base.[2] It has hairy, terete angled branchlets that are brown green to brown in colour and have 0.3 mm (0.012 in) high ridges. The leaves are dark green and feathery 1 to 2 centimetres (0.39 to 0.79 in) in length.[2] They are herbaceous and bipinnate and have three to eight pairs of pinnae, that join an axis that is 2.1 to 7 cm (0.83 to 2.76 in) in length. Each pinnae is composed of 20 to 104 pairs of pinnules each of which have an oblong shape with a length of 0.8 to 3.6 mm (0.031 to 0.142 in) and a width of 0.3 to 0.7 mm (0.012 to 0.028 in)[1]
