Acacia levata is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is endemic to small arid area of western Australia.
The spreading multi-stemmed shrub typically grows to a height of 1to and a width of around . The glabrous branchlets are commonly sericeous at the extremities. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The patent to ascending phyllodes have a narrowly elliptic to oblong-elliptic shape and are straight or shallowly curved. The phyllodes have a length of and a wisth of and are sub-rigid and thickly coriaceous with four to six prominent main nerves on each side. The simple inflorescences occur singly or in small groups in the axils. The cylindrical flower-spikes have a diameter of around and a length of and are densely packed with golden flowers.[1] The pendent seed pods that form after flowering have a linear shape with narrow wings and are straight to slightly curved. Th woody, glabrous pods have a length up to around and a width of and attain a yellowish brown colour as they dry and also become slightly wrinkled. The dull brown seeds inside the pods have a broadly elliptic to subcircular shape with a length of and have a ribbon-like funicle and a subterminal aril.[1]
It is native to a small area in the Pilbara region of Western Australia north of Newman and south of Marble Bar[1] where it is often situated on hilltops and hillslopes growing in sandy or loamy soils over granite usually as a part of scrubland and spinifex communities and it is often associated with Acacia hilliana and Acacia stellaticeps.[1]
