Shrub or tree to 16 m high. Bark deeply fissured, flaky, dark grey-brown. Branchlets angular to flattened towards apex, grey or dark grey, puberulous. Young shoots usually very densely clothed with yellow or sometimes silvery hairs. Phyllodes very narrowly elliptic to elliptic, mostly narrowed at both ends, flat, falcate to subfalcate or sometimes straight, normally (4–) 6–14 (–15) cm long, (5–) 7–25 mm wide, thinly coriaceous, subglaucous or glaucous, minutely silvery appressed-pubescent, with 3–5 main veins free to base; minor veins mostly 5–7 per mm, parallel, occasionally anastomosing; gland 1, basal, to 1 mm above pulvinus. Inflorescences racemose; raceme axes normally 1–10 mm long. Spikes 2–6 cm long, pale yellow to golden. Flowers mostly 5-merous; calyx 0.5–0.6 mm long, dissected to ¼ of their length, yellow-to golden-or rarely white-pubescent; corolla 1.5–1.8 mm long, dissected to ¼–⅓ of their length, glabrous or slightly hairy; ovary pubescent. Pods linear, not moniliform, straight, 3–7 cm long, sharply tapered at apex and base, ±woody, sparsely pubescent, ±resinous. Seeds longitudinal, elliptic-oblong, 4–4.5 mm long, black; pleurogram open, without halo.

Common along the coast, growing in dry open forest or woodland, depauperate rainforest and open scrub on rocky or stony hillsides of shale or sandstone, along watercourses or on hind-dunes of beaches.

Often cultivated.
