Read about Acacia pycnantha in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Acacia pycnantha,Benth. (A. petiolaris, Lehm.). Golden Wattle. Broad-leaved Wattle. Fig. 72. A small tree with more or less pendulous branchlets: phyll. pinniveined, oblong-lanceolate to falcate-lanceolate or even broadly obovate, 2 1/2-6 in. long, 3/4-1 1/2 in. wide, 1-nerved, the nerve more or less excentric; gland 1/2-3/4 in. from base: racemes either simple or compound, large-fld., fragrant and showy, often bending the tree with its weight of bloom; 50-60 fls. in a head with peduncles 1/8in. long; sepals 5, ciliate, almost as long as petals: pods varying, 2-4 1/2 or 5 in. long, 1/4in. wide, contracted and slightly constricted between the seeds and with nerve-like margins; funicle whitish, club-shaped, not folded, half as long as seed or occasionally folded and transverse to the seed; ripe Aug. Fls. Feb., March. Maiden Wattles and Wattlebark, p. 39. R.H. 1896, p. 504 Brown, For. Flora of S. Austral.—The name "broad-leaved" is derived from its reference to the seedling lvs., which are of great size, sometimes 5 in. long and 4 in. wide. The bark contains the highest percentage of tannin of any of the species, but the tree does not attain the size of A. decurrens, and hence so great a quantity is not obtained from any one tree. It is made into perfume, exudes a good gum, and is used as a sand-binder. CH
