Acacia victoriae is a shrub/tree from 2 - 5 metres tall. Widespread in all mainland states except Victoria, where it occurs only near Mildura and in The Sunset Country. Native to arid and subtropical areas in a variety of habitats, but commonly in clay or loam on alluvial flats (WorldWideWattle).
A useful stock food plant in times of drought, Bramble Wattle seeds are the most widely used for the bush tucker industry in Australia. Also good as a windbreak and for soil stabilisation.
Preliminary TLC performed on this species showed good banding for dialkyltryptamines in the aerial parts of the plant and a 5-Methoxy-alkyltryptamine in the roots (www.drugsbase.nl).
Care and cultivation Pour just boiled water over the seeds and allow to soak for a few hours to overnight. Plant 0.5 - 1cm under the surface of a well drained mix in full sun. Keep moist until germination.
Prefers a loam/gravel/sandy soil. Well drained soil, fast growing and hardy. Likes a full sun position and is tolerant of dry conditions once established.
15 seeds. Cloncurry region.
