It is dioecious or less commonly a monoecious shrub that has its leaves reduced to scales in whorls of six to eight, the mature fruiting cones 12–35 mm (0.47–1.38 in) long containing winged seeds (samaras) 4.0–5.5 mm (0.16–0.22 in) long.
Allocasuarina lehmanniana grows in winter-wet places in near-coastal areas from Jurien Bay to near Albany and east to Ravensthorpe in the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies ecarinata occurs from near Ongerup to east of Esperance in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions and subsp. lehmanniana between Jurien Bay to east of Albany in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions.
