Acacia diastemata, the sandstone pavement wattle, is an erect shrub or small tree from the Kimberley region of Western Australia that grows on sandstone pavements. Little is documented about cultivating it, so it is mainly of interest to native plant specialists and botanic collections.
Acacia diastemata, also known as the sandstone pavement wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub or small tree with erect, narrowly linear phyllodes, spikes of light golden yellow flowers and narrowly linear, thinly leathery to crust-like pods.
Sandstone pavement wattle is native to an area in the east Kimberley region of Western Australia where it is widespread but in localised populations from around the Prince Regent River in the south west to around the Roe River in the north and to the Drysdale River National Park in the east. Its geographic range extends over approximately 200 km (120 mi) along a south-west/north-east axis and it grows on massive sandstone pavements in small stands with a variety of species at each known locality, including Acacia kenneallyi, Hibiscus superbus, Macarthuria vertex and species of Triodia and Triumfetta.
