It is native to an area in the Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt and Mid West regions of Western Australia where it is commonly situated on hills, flats and sandplains growing in sandy to sandy-loam soils over and around granite and limestone. [1] [3] It has a discontinuous distribution with the range of the plant extends from Hamelin Pool in the north to Quairading with scattered localised populations from around Laking King in the south to further east of Scaddan and it is usually a part of shrubland, heathland or woodland communities.
