Description

"Shrub or tree to 5 m high." (WorldWideWattle, ver.2)

We have recorded Acacia polifolia, north of Biloela, Qld, in a Eucalyptus moluccana and Corymbia citriodora woodland in close proximity to Acacia decora and Acacia pedleyi on sandy loam derived from sandstone. The seed was of interest to the local coal mine where extensive rehabilitation works were underway. The taxon has a relatively restricted distribution and often occurs in major National Parks.

Notes

"Normally grows in shallow sand on sandstone, in Eucalyptus or Angophora forest or woodland." (WorldWideWattle, ver.2)

Historical Notes

Distribution

"Confined to the Great Divide from the Jericho- Tambo area E to Mt Morgan and near Biloela, Qld." (WorldWideWattle, ver.2)
