Acacia porcata is endemic to the
Mundubbera Shire,
Beeron National Park, and it grows in mountainous regions with lots of direct sunlight, as well as growing in
eucalypt woodlands, provided its access to sunlight is not blocked by other plants. The plant is often found on
granite substrate, as well as on soils with low acidity and high organic content. From August to late September, the flowers of the plant bloom, which grows sticky black seeds covered in a white
aril from November to December. Most seeds drop close to the parent plant, but the aril has been known to entice ants to disperse the seeds elsewhere. Left undisturbed, its average lifespan is ten years. The plant was first described in 1990 by
Paul Irwin Forster. ==See also==
