| Acacia flagelliformis is one of a number of acacias that have 'grass-like' foliage. At flowering time, the plant stands out as in flannelgraph. In these photos, the small plants compete with weeds, mostly exotic grasses, in a road verge adjoining grazing paddocks. After flowering, the plant 'disappears' until flowering time comes around again in the New Year.
