About

Acacia loroloba, commonly known as Ma Ma Creek wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-east Queensland, Australia. It is a shrub or tree with smooth bark, ridged branchlets, leathery, dark green, bipinnate leaves with 10 to 18 pairs of pinnae, each with 14 to 35 pairs of pinnules, racemes of spherical heads of pale yellow flowers, and leathery, almost straight-sided pods.

Where it grows

Ma Ma Creek wattle grows in open forest or woodland in open country, on alluvial flats or black soil plains, in brown clay or red sandy loan or red volcanic soils in Queensland, as far north as Durong, and it is common in the north eastern Darling Downs region, especially in the Haden –Jandowae area and east to the Toowoomba district.
