The dioecious shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 metres (3 to 10 ft). The cone is often obscured by the elongate bracteoles. It is found in heath areas of white-yellow sand.
The species was first formally described as Casuarina acuaria by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1867 in the Journal of Botany, British and Foreign.[2][3] It was reclassified in 1982 into the genus Allocasuarina by Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.[4][5][6]
