Acacia
longifolia (formerly known as A. sophorae;
coast wattle or false boobialla) is a very common
shrubby acacia of sand dunes and other coastal areas. The
phyllodes resemble those of A.
melanoxylon, but tend to be wider and thicker,
with 5-7 main veins instead of 3-5. The flowers are in
spikes.
There are two subspecies - subsp. longifolia has
leaves with a length to width ratio >7 and pods which are
straight; with subsp. sophorae the length to width
ratios is <5 and the pods are coiled
