Somewhat viscid shrub or tree (1–) 2–4 m high. Branchlets prominently resin-ribbed, glabrous. Phyllodes commonly patent, linear-oblong to narrowly elliptic, straight to shallowly incurved, 2–7 cm long, 2–6 (–7) mm wide, narrowed at base, obtuse to subacute, with mucro normally excentric, rather obviously resinous-punctate, glabrous, 1-veined per face; lateral veins obscure or absent; gland 0–3 mm above pulvinus. Inflorescences usually simple and 2 per axil; peduncles often patent, 4–9 mm long, somewhat stout, usually pubescent-tomentose and bracteate at base; heads globular to slightly obloid, 25–45-flowered, golden. Flowers 5-merous; sepals united. Pods linear, raised over seeds, 3–10 cm long, 2.5–4 (–5) mm wide, firmly chartaceous, glabrous. Seeds longitudinal, oblong, 3–4 mm long, shiny, dark brown; aril terminal.
In New South Wales it grows in alluvial gullies, on flats or low hills, while in Victoria it grows in dry forest and mallee communities.
