This bossiaea grows in deep sand in woodland from near Sandstone to near Laverton in the Great Victoria Desert and  Murchison biogeographic regions of Western Australia. Conservation status
Bossiaea eremaea is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat. References
