Acacia stellaticeps, commonly known as the Northern star wattle, Poverty bush and Glistening wattle. Indigenous Australians the Nyangumarta peolpes know the bush as Pirrnyur or Pirrinyurru and the Ngarla peoples know it as Panmangu.[1] It is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves. It is native to an area in the Kimberley, Pilbara and northern Goldfields regions of Western Australia.[2]

The low dense shrub typically grows to a height of 1 metre (3 ft). It blooms from October to May and produces yellow flowers.
