Shrub to 1.5 m tall, low, spreading, often ±flat-topped. Bark grey but peeling in a more or less ‘Minni Ritchi’ fashion at base of stems. Branchlets sometimes slightly resinous, sparsely appressed-puberulous to subtomentulose towards apices, sometimes glabrous. Stipules subpersistent, 1–2 mm long. Phyllodes patent to ascending, narrowly elliptic with upper margin more convex, straight to slightly recurved, 3–7 cm long, 6–14 mm wide, acute, coriaceous, green, glabrous or subglabrous, with numerous closely parallel nerves (of which 1–3 more raised) and with occasional anastamoses. Inflorescences simple, 1 per axil; peduncles 5–10 mm long, indumentum as on branchlets; spikes 25–40 mm long, dense, light golden; receptacle ±sparsely puberulous. Flowers 5-merous; sepals united almost to their apices. Pods ±narrowly oblong, constricted between and raised over seeds, to 4 cm long, 5–7 mm wide, ±nerved obliquely, sparsely short-pilose, slightly viscid. Seeds oblique, elliptic, c. 3 mm long, dull, light brown; funicle/aril convoluted, subterminal, yellowish.
