Acacia quornensis, commonly known as Quorn wattle, is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae native to southern Australia.
The shrub typically grows to a height of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft) and has a bushy, spreading habit. It has reddish brown glabrous branchlets and green narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate shaped phyllodes.
It is endemic to a small area in the Flinders Range of South Australia from Quorn to Hawker where it is found on the lower slopes of the range and in rocky gullies growing in calcareous loamy soils as a part of low woodland communities dominated by Callitris glaucophylla.[1]
