Racosperma Fasciculiferum

Black wattle, scientifically known as Racosperma fasciculiferum, is a hardy shrub native to Australia. It is characterized by its dark, woody stems and clusters of small, pale flowers. This plant is well adapted to arid and semi-arid environments, making it a resilient species in harsh climates. Despite its tough exterior, it plays an important ecological role in supporting local wildlife. Its historical use in the production of tannin-rich bark made it a valuable resource in early industries.
