Acacia baueri Tiny Wattle

Qv

Occurs in coastal heathland, particularly wet
heathlands & ecotone areas between wet
heathland & mid-open woodland communities
of low nutrient coastal plains. Occurs in
seasonally waterlogged sandy soils of the
coast & can stand a full sun exposure. Occurs
in shade in association with Banksia aemula
woodlands. In NSW, found in heathland and
adjacent plateaus, in Qld found mostly from
0-5m above sea level.

QE, CE

 

Open and closed heath on fine-grained
thyolite rocky slopes (Mt Peregian) and in
wallum heath on undulating coastal plain.
Occurs in coastal areas in low mixed species
mountain heath, low mixed species wet
heathland & in nearby Banksia _aemula
