Description
"Small shrub to tree, 0.5–6 m high." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
Notes
Grows in deep sand and skeletal soil on sandstone or granite in eucalypt woodland, open eucalypt forest or Triodia hummock grassland. (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
A very useful plant for rehabilitation work in Queensland where it is widely distributed. The taxon exhibits considerable variability. Seed collectors produced reasonable amounts of seed through consecutive seasons of late. That process, besides the seed cleaning is uncomplicated. The seed ripens relatively early in coastal areas north-west of Rockhampton.
Historical Notes
Distribution
"Occurs from the E central part of Cape York Penin. near Coen through coastal and inland districts as far S as Maryborough and Boatman Stn, S of Charleville, Qld. It also occurs near Riversleigh Stn (c. 200 km NW of Mt Isa)." (WorldWideWattle ver. 2)
