−The '''Cootamundra Wattle''' is a [[shrub]] or [[tree]] in the [[Fabaceae|Family Fabaceae]]. The Latin name of the species honors the [[botanist]] [[Frederick Manson Bailey]]. It is but one of nearly 1000 species of ''Acacia'' found in [[Australia]]. The Cootamundra Wattle is indigenous to a small area in southern [[New South Wales]] but has been widely planted in other Australian states. In many areas of [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] Cootamundra Wattle has become naturalised and is regarded as [[weed]], outcompeting indigenous Victorian species.
−Almost all wattles have cream to golden flowers. The small flowers are arranged in spherical to cylindrical [[inflorescence]]s, with only the [[stamen]]s prominent. Wattles have been extensively [[introduced species|introduced]] into [[New Zealand]] and are regarded by many New Zealanders as one of the most typical features of their home landscape.
This plant is adaptable and easy to grow. Unfortunately it has an ability to naturalize (i.e. escape) into surrounding [[bushland]]. Also, it hybridizes with some other wattles, notably the rare and endangered [[Sydney Basin]] species ''[[Acacia pubescens]]''.+A prostrate weeping form is in [[cultivation]]. The fine foliage of the original Cootamundra wattle is grey-green, but a blue-purple foliaged form, known as 'Purpurea' is very popular.+== Uses ==+''A. baileyana'' is used in Europe in the cut flower industry. It is also used as food for bees in the production of honey.<ref>[http://www.worldwidewattle.com/infogallery/utilisation/summary.php World Wide Wattle]</ref>
