Acacia parvifoliolata is a species of shrub of the genus Acacia endemic to a small area in and around the Belington Hut State Forest, near Taroom in Queensland. [2] [3]
It is a species of spindly shrub which can grow up to 4 metres high. The leaves are bipinnate, with there usually being 3-6 pairs of pinnae, which are spaced from 15-25 mms between one another. Flowers are yellow and appear spherical in shape. Pods are narrowly oblong, straight-edged or slightly constricted between seeds and obviously rounded over them, and are from 6.5 to 12 cms long as well as 6 to 8 mms in width. Seeds are longitudinal to slightly oblique or ellipsoid with dimensions of 6 x 5 mms; they are turgid and black.
It inhabits the open forest, sharing its habitat with other local woodland species including Eucalyptus chloroclada, Eucalyptus mediocris, Angophora leiocarpa and Allocasuarina inophloia. It grows on quartzitic sandstone. It is a common species within its limited range.
It has been assessed as Endangered under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
