"Erect, often spindly, shrub or tree to 2 (–3) m high." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
"Grows in Acacia or eucalypt communities, on ridges and slopes, in clayey, sandy or rocky soils, on laterite and sandstone." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
We have collected seed samples from Acacia hyaloneura from Torrens Creek where it grows in small groups on colluvium. It was also visible north east from here on the Warang Sandstone. It has a straight pod from 4.5 to 12.5cm long. The seed has a long straight funicle along one side. Acacia whitei from north west of Townsville may have a similar general appearance.
"An uncommon species occurring in the N.T. and north-western Qld, also from the Great Dividing Ra. near Torrens Creek southwards to 145 km N of Clermont." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
