Acacia hubbardiana Pedley

Spreading shrub to 2 m high. Branchlets puberulous, sometimes subglabrous. Phyllodes dimidiate, 5–10 mm long, 3–8 mm wide, broadest near or below middle, pungent, glabrous; adaxial margin markedly rounded, slightly angled at the gland and with its proximal edge ± parallel to branchlet; abaxial margin ± straight; midrib curved and intersecting adaxial margin below the cusp; marginal veins prominent. Inflorescences mostly simple within axils of ± reduced phyllodes at ends of branchlets, sometimes forming axillary racemes to c. 3 cm long; peduncles 1 per axil, 5–12 mm long, glabrous or sparsely puberulous; heads globular, 15–20-flowered, creamy yellow. Flowers 5-merous; sepals united. Pods stipitate, oblong to narrowly oblong, raised over seeds alternately on each side, to 5 cm long, 1–1.5 cm wide, thinly coriaceous, glabrous. Seeds transverse, c. 4.5 mm long.

On coastal lowlands it often grows in poorly drained sand in open forest or heath associated with swamps, and on rocky slopes above about 150 m alt. on peaks of the Glasshouse Mountains.
