Cootamundra Floral Emblem: Acacia baileyana (1116 words) |
 | Acacia baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle) is the floral emblem of the small rural township of Cootamundra which is located on the western slopes of New South Wales, about 350 km southwest of Sydney. |
| Acacia baileyana was originally described by Baron von Mueller in 1888, based on a plant cultivated in 1876 at Bowen Park, Brisbane, by the Queensland botanist, Frederick Manson Bailey (after whom the species was named). |
| Acacia baileyana has a very restricted natural distribution which is confined to the vicinity of Cootamundra, hence its common name. |
