Taxonomy.
The species was first formally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1842 as part of William Jackson Hooker's work "Notes on Mimoseae, with a synopsis of species" as published in the "London Journal of Botany". It was reclassified as "Racosperma brachybotryum" in 2003 by Leslie Pedley and transferred back into the genus "Acacia" in 2006. The specific epithet is taken from the Greek words "brachys" meaning "short" and "botrys" meaning "spike" in reference to the flower supported on a short penduncle.
Distribution.
The plant is distributed widely throughout semi-arid parts of south eastern Australia from around Yalata in the west to around Bendigo in Victoria in the east and as far north as Nymagee in New South Wales where it is found growing in many different soil types and often part of mallee communities.
