Summary ³

Acacia lasiocarpa, commonly known as Panjang or Pajang or glow wattle, is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Pulchellae that is endemic to Western Australia.

Description ⁴

The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.15 to 0.5 metres (0.5 to 1.6 ft) and 1 m (3 ft) across. The branchlets are covered in spines. The pinnae occur in pairs and have a length of 1 to 10 millimetres (0.039 to 0.394 in) with two to eight pairs of pinnules that are 1 to 5 mm (0.039 to 0.197 in) long and 0.5 to 1 mm (0.020 to 0.039 in) wide. The foliage is lime green in colour. It blooms from May to October and produces yellow flowers. The rudimentary inflorescences have globular flowerheads containing 16 to 50 golden flowers. Following flowering flat or undulate brown seed pods form that are 10 to 40 mm (0.4 to 1.6 in) in length and 3 to 5 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in) wide. The sometimes mottled seeds inside have an oblong to elliptic or circular shape and are 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.06 to 0.10 in) in length.
