Acacia synchronicia, commonly known as bardi bush,[1] is a shrub or tree of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae endemic to Australia.
The spreading spinescent shrub or tree typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 4 metres (5 to 13 ft)[2] but can be as high as 6 m (20 ft). It has an openly branched habit with one or many main stems arising from the base. The grey bark is longitudinally fissured at the base of the main stems and is smoother on the upper branches and can be bronze through to yellowish orange or green in colour.[1] It blooms from August to December and produces yellow flowers.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist Bruce Maslin in 1992 as part of the work Acacia Miscellany 6. Review of Acacia victoriae and related species (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae: Section Phyllodineae) as published in the journal Nuytsia. It was reclassified by Leslie Pedley in 2003 as Racosperma synchronicium then transferred back to the genus Acacia in 2007.[3]
