Spreading, much-branched shrub to 3 m tall, glabrous, somewhat resinous. Branchlet ribs tuberculate. Phyllodes scattered or a few irregularly subverticillate or subfasciculate, rather crowded, ±patent to inclined, linear, mostly shallowly to moderately incurved or sigmoid, flat, (10–) 15–22 mm long, 0.7–1.1 mm wide, abruptly constricted at base with pulvinus 0.2–0.5 mm long, excentrically mucronulate, somewhat thick, often longitudinally rugulose adjacent to the sometimes indistinct midrib when dry, gland minute, to 1 mm above pulvinus. Inflorescences simple, 1 per axil; peduncles 9–15 mm long, ebracteate at base; heads globular, 30–35-flowered, light golden. Flowers 5-merous; calyx shallowly dissected. Pods (depauperate) narrowly oblong, 5–7 mm wide, firmly chartaceous. Seeds not seen but longitudinal judging from pods.
Grows in scrub, open eucalypt forest and woodland, in stony clay and sandy soils, often on rocky sandstone.
