Acacia leptoneura Benth. (1842:341)
Slender-nerved acacia
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Conservation Status
Last record: 1837-1848 (DEC, 2010); 1839 (Silcock et al., 2021:7)
Rediscovered in 2008 (DEC, 2012:2; Silcock et al., 2021:23)
"Acacia leptoneura is currently known from two individuals. One occurs on a very narrow road verge adjacent to cropping land and the other in a slightly larger patch of degraded remnant vegetation. Recovery options are limited as propagation has been unsuccessful and the genetic diversity is probably very low."
(Silcock et al., 2021:22)
Distribution
Western Australia, Australia
"Acacia leptoneura is known from two sites separated by 1 km in a very restricted area northeast of Dowerin in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion of south-western Western Australia"
