Acacia tingoorensis Pedley

Tree 3–8 m high. Branchlets stout, acutely angled towards apices, velvety by dense, short, soft patent hairs. Phyllodes dimidiate to shallowly or obviously falcately recurved, 10–18 (–23) cm long, (10–) 15–35 mm wide, coriaceous, green, multistriate with 3 or 4 veins more pronounced than the rest and free to the base or the lower 2 confluent near the pulvinus but free from lower margin, the minor veins subdistant (mostly 3 or 4 per mm), longitudinally anastomosing secondary veins relatively few to subnumerous, velvety or more commonly glabrous; pulvinus 2–5 (–8) mm long, commonly densely hairy and indistinct. Inflorescences simple or rudimentary racemes to 1 mm long, mostly 2 per axil; spike 4–8 (10) cm long, golden, the flowers subdense or somewhat widely spaced in the spikes; axis of spike glabrous or velvety hairy; peduncles (2–) 5–10, hairy. Flowers 5 merous. Calyx very shortly dissected, with indumentum sometimes only at the base; ovary densely pubescent. Pods submoniliform, to c. 6 cm long, 3–4 mm wide, straight to shallowly curved, rounded over seeds and moderately constricted between them, glabrous. Seeds longitudinal, oblong, c. 4 mm long, c. 2 mm wide, dark brown; aril terminal and yellow (at least when dry).

Grows on low hills; near Kingaroy it grows in shallow loam and sand as an understory in eucalypt woodland and forms dense stands in disturbed situations along roadverges; near Mount Garnet it grows in red lateritic soil.
