Some comments on A. notabilis and its relationships to A. anceps may be found in Maslin & Whibley (1987).

Cheal (1981) describes the relatively recent (1979) recognition of A. notabilis in the far north-west of Victoria. A description is given to distinguish it from other local species.

The only mistletoe found on Acacia notabilis has been a single collection of Amyema preissii.

A. notabilis is reported by Isaacs (1987) to be a source of both gum and seeds for Aboriginal food.
