How common is Australia's wattle?

Some so rich in flowers that Australians call them “golden rain,” Australia’s national emblem is the wattle (Acacia). The plant appears in all the states and on the coat of arms. Its 600 species range from small shrubs to large trees. Settlers named the trees after seeing Aborigines interweave – or wattle – the branches into crude shelters.
