Stuwe (1982) discusses the range and abundance of this very limited species in western Victoria where the main occurrence is between Nhill and Dimboola.<P>Until recently <I>A. glandulicarpa</I> was known only from a few plants in the Burra Gorge. Scattered colonies ranging from 2 plants to several hundred have now been found in areas a little north-west of Hanson. Native woody vegetation has been almost completely removed in this area and there are virtually no trees except scattered <I>A. pycnantha</I>, some colonies of <I>A. paradoxa</I> and rare colonies of <I>A. glandulicarpa</I>. It is probable that the species is sparingly clonal and has been able to survive by this means. All colonies were confined to roadsides.<P><I>Acacia glandulicarpa</I> is described as useful ground cover and as tolerant of frost in Canberra, Anon (1974).
