Acacia harpophylla, commonly known as brigalow, brigalow spearwood, orkor or ogarah, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a tree with sickle-shaped phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and subterete straight to slightly curved pods, slightly raised over and constricted between the seeds. The Gamilaraay peoples know the tree as barranbaa or burrii. It is found in central and coastal Queensland to northern New South Wales. It can reach up to 25 m (82 ft) tall and forms extensive open-forest communities on clay soils.
