Acacia lithgowiae, Lithgow's wattle, is a small shrub of the pea family, native to a very small area of southern Queensland, Australia. It is rarely grown outside its native range and is mainly of interest to botanists and native plant collectors.
Acacia lithgowiae, commonly known as Lithgow's wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area of Queensland, Australia. It is a shrub with ascending to erect, mostly narrowly oblong phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers, and linear to narrowly oblong, firmly papery to thinly leathery pods.
This species of wattle is only known from the type locality in southern Queensland, where it grows in sandy soil overlying clay, often with Allocasuarina luehmannii and Acacia muelleriana.
