Shrub to c. 4 m high; bark lamellated (described by collector as ‘fibrous’). Branchlets glabrous, pale brown but often with a grey-white overlay of dead epidermal cells. Phyllodes linear, (7–) 9.5–15 cm long, 1.5–2 mm wide, straight to shallowly incurved, glabrous, with numerous parallel non-anastomosing longitudinal veins, with the central vein slightly more pronounced that the rest. Inflorescences 2-or 3-headed rudimentary racemes 1–2 mm long; peduncles 1–2 mm long, resinous, glabrous or subglabrous; spikes short-cylindrical, 8–9 mm long and c. 5 mm wide at anthesis (when dry). Flowers 5-merous; calyx gamosepalous, cupular, membranous, invested with rather dense arachnoid hairs; petals 1.3–1.5 mm long. Pods to 35 mm long, 2–2.5 mm wide, shallowly curved, pale brown, marginal veins thick. Seeds longitudinal 2.4–3.2 mm long, 1.3–1.4 mm wide; funicle thickened into a small aril capping the seed.
