(WorldWideWattle ver. 2) Apart from the Queensland coastline, herbarium specimens for Acacia flavescens exist in a band through central Queensland from Isla Gorge to Clermont and areas south of Collinsville. Occasionally used in revegetation. Some enquiries for this species have come from coal mines.
Acacia flavescens has attractive flowers, pods and glossy phyllodes and could be exploited as an ornamental small tree.
