Acacia stenophylla

Acacia stenophylla is a fast-growing tree, that grows to 4–10 metres (13–33 ft) tall.[2] The form is upright with decumbent or weeping branches and foliage. The leaves are gray to gray-green, narrow and long.

Acacia stenophylla has medium salt and frost tolerance. The average minimum annual rainfall that the tree needs is around 400 mm (16 in) per year.[2] It is not listed as a threatened species.[1]

Common names used in Australia include Balkura, Belalie, Black Wattle, Dalby Myall, Dalby Wattle, Dunthy, Eumong, Gooralee, Gurley, Ironwood, Munumula, Native Willow, River Cooba, River Cooba, and River Myall.[1]

The specific epithet is derived from the Greek stenos (narrow) and phyllon (leaf) to give “with narrow leaves”.[3]

The plant is said to contain medicinal alkaloids.[4]

Acacia stenophylla is widely planted as a drought tolerant and decumbent ornamental tree. It is cultivated by plant nurseries, and used in modernist gardens and in public landscapes in the Southwestern United States and California.
