Statement of Significance

Rare and localised

Acacia omalophylla is listed as an endangered species in Victoria, and this stand is the largest known example of this species in the State. Another smaller stand (2-3 old trees & 50 suckers) occurs at Yalca. Located at an altitude of 150m, an area of approximately 2 ha has been fenced off from agricultural use. The stand appears of an even age, however there is sucker regrowth around the perimeter and open areas. Numerous stands of Callitris glaucophyllus (Syn. Callitris columellaris) occur nearby and isolated Eucalyptus microcarpa (1 tree within stand).
These trees are located west of Howells Road, near the corner of Almonds and Roberts Roads, St James.
