Read about Acacia cyclops in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Acacia cyclops, Cunn. Fig. 72. A low spreading shrub, 8-10 ft. tall, with many sts.: phyll. narrow-oblong to lanceolate or even falcate-lanceolate, with oblique point, 1 1/2-3 1/2 in. long, 1/4-3/8in. wide, gland at base more or less obscure; 3-6 longitudinal nerves: fls. solitary or in pairs, or even in short racemes; peduncles 1/4in. long: pods in clusters of 2-7 from one head, 2-2 1/2 in. long, 3/8in. wide, more or less curled; seeds transverse, with odor, when fresh, something like a leek, surrounded by conspicuous scarlet funicle in double fold; ripe Aug.- Nov. Fls. off and on from July-Dec. F. v. M. Icon. 8:3.—Young specimens are very compact and attractive, although in a few years they become spreading and unsymmetrical; but, as short-lived tub-plants for certain formal effects, they would be very effective. While the seed-pods are at first charmingly artistic with the scarlet funicle surrounding the black seeds and the rich brown pods, in age they are unsightly, as they persist until they are ragged, ugly and black. The pods contain much tannin that is hard on the mucous membrane when the seeds are cleaned. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
