Acacia lespedleyi is a shrub of the genus Acacia that is endemic to a small area of Queensland. [2]
Acacia lespedleyi is endemic to the North Burnett District of Queensland. The species range is geographically restricted and is only known from a single location west of Eidsvold. At this location there are two subpopulations which occur 2km apart occupying less than 2km in size. In 2006, the estimated number of mature individuals is less than 500. The two subpopulations are located on a cattle grazing property. Although this property has a nature refuge, none of the subpopulations are located within the protected area. The habitat is a low open forest consisting of dominant species including Allocasuarina inophloia , Corymbia citriodora , Corymbia trachyphloia , Eucalyptus cloeziana , Eucalyptus crebra , Eucalyptus exserta , Eucalyptus fibrosa , and Lysicarpus angustifolius . The midstorey and understory canopies are very sparse mostly containing legumes shrubs and grasses.
