Acacia pravissima, the Ovens wattle or wedge-leaved wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is an evergreen shrub native to Victoria, the South West Slopes and Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia.[1]
The Latin specific epithet pravissima means "very crooked".[2]
It grows to 5 m (16 ft), producing racemes of ball-shaped yellow flowers in winter and spring.
In temperate regions it is hardy only in mild or warm coastal climates, but must be given a sheltered spot in full sun with neutral or acid soil. Elsewhere it should be grown under glass. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
