About
Acacia ancistrocarpa, commonly known as Fitzroy wattle or pirrara, sometimes also fish hook wattle, pindan wattle or shiny leaved wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to north-western Australia. The Walmajarri people of the Paruku IPA in the Kimberley call this wattle, kampuka. It is a multi-stemmed, fastigiate shrub, with linear or very narrow elliptic phyllodes, spikes of golden-yellow flowers, and narrowly oblong or cultrate pods up to 60–115 mm (2.4–4.5 in) long.
