Acacia mangium, usually commonly known as mangium, hickory wattle or black wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is native to northeastern Queensland in Australia, the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, Papua, and the eastern Maluku Islands. It is a tree with rough, furrowed, pale grey to dark brown bark, glabrous, acutely angled, brown, fawn or green branchlets, obliquely narrowly elliptic to egg-shaped phyllodes, spikes of white to cream-coloured flowers, and irregularly coiled and twisted, or spirally coiled, leathery to more or less woody pods.
