Atalaya brevialata is a small, grass-like native of northern Australia's Northern Territory, known only from woodland near Darwin. It grows from a woody base with annual herbaceous stems and is rarely grown in gardens, so care guidance is limited.
Atalaya brevialata is a species of plant in the soapberry (Sapindaceae) family. It is native to northern Australia where it occurs in the Northern Territory.
The species is known only from the Elizabeth River valley in Darwin, where it is found near Virginia and west to north-west of Noonamah. It grows in woodland to open woodland on sandy soils amongst Eucalyptus tectifica and Corymbia foelscheana. A map showing where it has been collected is given by the Australian Virtual Herbarium.
