Acacia humifusa is a northern Australian wattle that grows as an erect, spreading or prostrate shrub, reaching up to about 3 m high and 6 m wide. It is a native of rocky hills and sandy soils, so it needs good drainage and full sun.
Acacia humifusa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to northern Australia. It is an erect, spreading or prostrate shrub with fissured bark, asymmetrical obliquely egg-shaped to elliptic or almost round, leathery phyllodes, spikes of yellow flowers and linear, crusty pods.
This species of wattle occurs in the north of Western Australia, the north of the Northern Territory and northern Queensland. It is found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia where it is often found on rocky hilltops and slopes growing in sandy soils over quartzite or sandstone bedrock. It is also found on islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria and through the top end of the Northern Territory as well as from around Cape York in the north down to Cape Cleveland, including many of the islands.
