Golden Wattle





Australia%26#039;s National Flower








Golden wattle ... Australia%26#039;s floral emblem








The golden wattle, Acacia pycnantha, is Australia%26#039;s national flower.





Australia’s floral emblem occurs naturally in the southern Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, western Victoria and southern inland areas of New South Wales. It has escaped in other parts of southern Australia.





In cultivation mature plants are reasonably frost and drought tolerant, and withstand moderate coastal exposure. The specimen (pictured) in the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens was planted in 1987.





Native occurrence in the Australian Capital Territory was the main criterion for choosing the floral emblem but other desirable features included horticultural merit and design potential, both in naturalistic and stylised representations.








Popular acceptance


Acacia pycnantha enjoyed popular acceptance as Australia%26#039;s national flower for much of this century but it was not proclaimed as the national floral emblem until 1988, the year of Australia%26#039;s bicentenary.





Acacia is the largest genus in the family Mimosaceae, the Mimosa family, which is mainly tropical and sub-tropical in distribution.





Acacia pycnantha, the golden wattle, is a shrub or small tree about 4 to 8 metres tall.





In 1992, September 1 was formally declared National Wattle Day.
