Open seedpods of Prickly Moses (<i>Acacia verticillata</i> subsp. <i>ruscifolia</i>). Note how several of the seeds have small holes drilled in them by emerging weevil larvae that have eaten the seed from inside.

It occurs in isolated spots in southern Victoria on the Australian mainland but is found mainly in western Tasmania. Its bronze-green foliage is tipped with short, fine spines.
