Royal Botanic Garden Sydney

Common name: Chinchilla Wattle

Family: Fabaceae (Bean)

Distribution: Queensland

Life form: Evergreen shrub/sub-shrub

Comments: Restricted to the Darling Downs District of south-eastern Queensland, where it is regarded as a vulnerable species. It occurs on sandy soils, particularly in the Barakula State Forest near Chinchilla. This forest is a selective logging area, and forestry practices have had little impact on the population so far.
