Allocasuarina paludosa is a spreading, monoecious or dioecious shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. Its branchlets are more or less erect, up to Шаблон:Cvt long, the leaves reduced to erect or spreading, scale-like teeth Шаблон:Cvt long, arranged in whorls of six to eight around the branchlets. The sections of branchlet between the leaf whorls are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Male flowers are arranged in spikes Шаблон:Cvt long, with 7 to 9 whorls per centimetre (per 0.39 in.), the anthersШаблон:Cvt long. Female cones are sessile or on a peduncle up to Шаблон:Cvt long, the mature cones cylindrical to oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt in diameter, the winged seeds dark brown to black and Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4]
Allocasuarina paludosa grows in heath and in poorly drained soils near swamps at the edge of woodland on the coast and nearby tablelands of New South Wales south from Broken Bay, through southern Victoria to the far south-east of South Australia.[1][2][3][4]
