About

Acacia hockingsii, also known as Hocking's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area in the central highlands of Queensland, Australia. It is a rounded, glabrous shrub with ascending to erect, linear, slightly curved phyllodes, spherical heads of about thirty flowers, and narrowly oblong to linear, firmly papery pods.

Where it grows

Hocking's wattle is found in the central highland of Queensland, north of Taroom where it is found in shallow soils on sandstone in Eucalyptus woodland. It was formerly thought to be restricted to the Isla Gorgearea, but recently it has been found south of Isla Gorge near Wondekai Nature Reserve and another population has been found in Palmgrove National Park.
