Acacia sorophylla is a small, dense shrub native to a limited area of south coastal Western Australia, near Esperance. It is a low, compact plant with phyllodes rather than true leaves, and it suits sunny, well-drained spots in mild climates.
Acacia sorophylla is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to a small area of south western Australia
It is native to a small area along the south coast in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia just inland from Esperance where it is commonly situated on hilltops, limestone rises, plains and along the edges of salt lakes growing in sandy or clay or calcareous loamy soils. The bulk of the population is found between Scaddan in the west to around Mount Ragged in the Cape Arid National Park to the east usually as a part of shrub mallee or low Eucalyptus woodland communities.
