Shrub 1–4 m tall, rounded, occasionally a tree 3–8 m tall. Branchlets terete, glabrous, sometimes hairy in phyllode axils. Phyllodes ascending to erect, linear to narrowly oblong-elliptic, ±straight, rarely terete, 7–13 cm long, usually 1.5–3 mm wide, with a shortly acuminate and gently curved to uncinate apex, glabrous except pulvinus, sometimes hairy adaxially, with numerous very fine closely parallel nerves; central nerve sometimes slightly more evident than the rest. Inflorescences simple, mostly 2 per axil; peduncles 1.5–4 mm long, ±puberulous; heads short-obloid to globular, 6–8 mm long, 5–7 mm diam., 28–36-flowered, golden. Flowers 5-merous; sepals ⅔-united.
