Acacia equisetifolia is a small erect wattle shrub, up to about 1 m tall, native only to a single gorge in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. It grows on rocky sandstone and is very rare in the wild, so it is seldom cultivated.
Acacia equisetifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory of Australia. It is an erect shrub with crowded whorls of slender phyllodes with stipules at the base, heads of bright yellow flowers in each whorl and oblong to narrowly oblong, crusty pods.
This species of wattle has been recorded as growing on rocky sandstone slopes and ledges at the tops of sheer cliffs, and is known only from Graveside Gorge in Kakadu National Park. It has a very restricted distribution, with a total recorded population of less than 1,000 mature individuals distributed "quite unequally across two subpopulations about 1 km (0.62 mi) apart".
