Stenocarpus acacioides is a shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of, sometimes to, and is glabrous apart from woolly, rust-coloured hairs on new flower buds. The adult leaves are elliptic, long and wide on a petiole long. Juvenile leaves are egg-shaped, longer and wider than adult leaves. The flower groups are arranged in leaf axils, either singly, in pairs or threes, the groups with 19 to 22 flowers on a peduncle long. Each flower in the group is white, on a pedicel long. Flowering occurs from April to October and the fruit is a woody, linear follicle long, containing winged seeds about long.[1]
Stenocarpus acacioides was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected near the Roper River.[2] [3] The specific epithet (acacioides) means "Acacia-like".[4]
This species usually grows in woodland and occurs from the Kimberley region of Western Australia to the northern parts of the Northern Territory.[5]
