'''''Acacia pulchella''''', commonly known as '''prickly moses''', is a shrub in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Fabaceae]]. Endemic to [[Western Australia]], it is one of the most common shrubs of the bushland around [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] and in the [[Darling Scarp|Darling Range]]. Prickly moses is one of only a small number of ''[[Acacia]]'' [[species]] to have true leaves, rather than [[phyllode]]s. It has feathery, [[bipinnate]] leaves with leaflets up to 5 mm long. At the base of each leaf is one or two spines. The flower heads are bright yellow and spherical, with a diameter of up to 1 cm. It flowers in late winter and early spring. The name "prickly moses" is said to be a corruption of "prickly mimosa". Recent research suggests that ''A. pulchella'' may in some circumstances suppress the plant pathogen ''[[Phytophthora cinnamomi]]''.<ref> Arunodini Jayasekera, [http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/adt/browse/view/adt-MU20061129.134500 ''Interactions between Phytophthora cinnamomi and Acacia pulchella: consequences on ecology and epidemiology of the pathogen''], Murdoch University, Western Australia, PhD thesis 2006</ref> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== There are four recognised varieties: * [[Acacia pulchella var. glaberrima|''A. p.'' var. ''glaberrima'']] * [[Acacia pulchella var. goadbyi|''A. p.'' var. ''goadbyi'']] * [[Acacia pulchella var. pulchella|''A. p.'' var. ''pulchella'']] * [[Acacia pulchella var. reflexa|''A. p.'' var.
