Description

The erect, slender and pungent shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1 metre (0.7 to 3.3 ft).[1] It has glabrous to sparsely haired and yellow-ribbed branchlets. Like most species of Acacis it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The pungent and g;abrous, evergreen phyllodes have an inequilateral and obtriangular shape that are 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in) in length and a width of 3 to 6 mm (0.12 to 0.24 in) with a midrib near the abaxial margin.[2] It blooms from May to September and produces yellow-cream flowers.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanist William Vincent Fitzgerald in 1904 in the work Additions to the West Australian Flora as published in the Journal of the West Australian Natural History Society. It was reclassified by Leslie Pedley in 2003 as Racosperma mooreanum then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006.[3]

Distribution

It is native to an area along the south coast in the South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia where it is commonly situated along drainage lines or in swampy areas growing in sandy soils often over and around laterite.[1] The bulk of the population is found from around Yallingup in the west to Boyanup in the north down to August in the south west to around Nannup in the south east where it is usually found as a part of Eucalyptus forest communities.[2]

gollark: Admittedly you probably would have to work around SQLite to some extent for compression efficiency, for example by encoding article data and stuff in msgpack blobs or whatever, concating a lot together, and compressing them.
gollark: No, I lied to you, the wiki uses plaintext.
gollark: Actually maybe not!
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Using SQLite for this would:- mean writing less code, as it handles the "low-level" binary stuff anyway- probably be more secure, as it's much better tested- allow ZIM file generation to be more efficient, as it can be done incrementally and then VACUUMed or something- allow easier inspection by external tools- allow benefiting from its good performance
