Appearance
The glabrous, diffuse and somewhat resinous shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 2.5 metres. It has prominently ribbed branchlets with no stipules and sessile, patent, green phyllodes with a narrowly triangular to linear-triangular shape that are 5 to 25 mm in length and 1.5 to 3 mm wide with a prominent midrib. It blooms between August and January with sporadic flowering at other times producing yellow flowers.It is very similar in appearance to "Acacia ulicifolia" but is easily distinguished by the sticky appearance of "A. rupicola".
Distribution
It is endemic to a large area extending from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia in the west thorough to Bordertown and to the Grampians in the Victoria in the east. It is found in rocky coastal areas in sandy to loamy soils often as a part of open scrub or woodland communities.References:
