About

Acacia burrana is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a glabrous shrub with usually lance-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and linear pods.

Where it grows

This species of wattle has a disjunctive distribution in the Petford - Herberton and Mount Garnet areas, and the Lolworth Ranges at the headwaters of Torrens Creek and the Cape River in North Queensland. Another population is found about 300 km (190 mi) further south in the Cudmore National Park. It is usually situated in elevated areas at around 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level growing in shallow sandy soils with a sandstone base as a part of woodland communities, along with Corymbia trachyphloia and Acacia shirleyi. It is also occasionally found along sandy banks of minor watercourses at lower elevations.
