-[[Acacia aculeatissima]] refers to the prickly phyllodes, however is more commonly known as the "Snake Wattle" or "Thin-Leaf Wattle". As the name suggests, it is a low sprawling shrub, rarely growing above 50-60cm high, yet sprawling out wiry, prickly branches for 1m or more. It is native to Australia, mainly found in VIC but also found in small populations in other states such as NSW, QLD and WA.

 It is fast growing with an average lifespan around 20 years, having dark green foliage with deep golden-yellow, globular flowers. It flowers from August to October. The pods are straight, cylindrical
 Often grows in rocky areas, in Eucalyptus woodland or forest or closed heath.
 [[Acacia aculeatissima]] may be confused with [[Acacia brownii]] which has 5-merous flowers and spreading rather than mostly reflexed phyllodes.

 '''Phyllodes'''
 Phyllodes mostly patent to reflexed, slender, terete to subterete, quadrangular when dry, 5–12 (- 20) mm long, 0.5–1 mm wide, pungent with a slender, c. 1 mm long cusp, rigid, obscurely 4-nerved, variably muriculate on nerves, usually glabrous; pulvinus asymmetric.
 '''Inflorescences'''
 Inflorescences simple, 1–3 per axil; peduncles 5–13 mm long, slender, glabrous; basal bract c. 1 mm long; heads globular, sometimes obloid, c. 20-flowered, lemon yellow. Flowers 4-merous; sepals dissected to near base.
 '''Pods'''
 Pods straight to slightly curved, ± flat but slightly raised over seeds, ± straight-sided or variably constricted between some seeds, 3–6 cm long, 2–4 mm wide, firmly papery to thinly leathery, smooth, glabrous or with sparse minute hairs;
