Thank you Alan Dandie (Alan_Dandie) for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Riverland and elsewhere Very similar to Wait-a-while, A. colletioides, except the leaves (phyllodes) have 16 parallel veins (nerves), not 8. Yellow flowers don't have petals, but are spherical/ball-shaped. Seeds come in long, flat pods a bit like beans. Flowers are not in receme's but on peduncles, usually 2 per leaf axis.
