Phyllodes narrowly elliptic to lanceolate, sometimes almost linear, straight or shallowly curved, mostly 4–9 cm long and 2–12 mm wide, usually subglabrous to pubescent with silvery appressed hairs, with numerous fine rather close (4–7 per mm) non-anastomosing veins, with 2 or 3 more prominent. Inflorescences 2-headed racemes, 1–5 (–10) mm long; peduncles 1–3 mm long, normally appressed puberulous; receptacles glabrous; spikes 2–4 cm long, subdense to interrupted, golden. Flowers 5-merous; sepals united, golden puberulous to ± glabrous; ovary densely hairy. Pods linear, raised over seeds, to 6 cm long, 2–9 mm wide, firmly chartaceous to thinly coriaceous, glabrous. Seeds longitudinal or (when pods broad) transverse, oblong, 2.7–4 mm long, shiny, brown; aril small.
