	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''Golden Wattle''' (''Acacia pycnantha'') is [[Australia]]'s [[floral emblem]]. It is a tree which flowers in late winter and spring, producing a mass of fragrant, fluffy, golden flowers.

	~~\| common_names = <!--- if multiple~~, ~~list all~~, ~~if none~~, ~~leave blank -->~~		The species grows to between 2 and 8 [[Metre\|metres]] in height with generally smooth, dark brown to grey bark. The mature trees do not have [[Leaf\|true leaves]] but have long, [[sickle]]-shaped [[phyllode]]s. These are shiny and dark green and are between 8 and 20 cm long and 0.5 to 3.5 cm wide. The rounded inflorescences are bright yellow and occur in axillary racemes or terminal panicles in groupings of between 4 and 23. These are followed by flattish, straight or slightly curved pods which are 5 to 14 cm long and 0.5 to 0.8 cm wide.<ref name=costermans>{{cite book\|author=Costermans, L.\| title=Native Trees and Shrubs of South-eastern Australia \|publisher=Rigby\|location=Australia \| year=1981 \| id=ISBN 072701403x}}</ref><ref name =plantnet> {{cite web \|url= http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Acacia~pycnantha \|title= Acacia pycnantha \|accessdate=2007-08-28 \|format= \|work= PlantNET - New South Wales Flora Online }}</ref>

Although it is short lived, it is widely grown for its bright yellow, fragrant flowers. The species has a degree of frost tolerance and is adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, however it prefers good drainage. Propagation is from seed which has been pre-soaked in hot water to soften the hard seed coating.<ref name=boden/>
