Phyllodes narrowly oblong-oblanceolate, incurved, 9.5–12.5 cm long, 7–14 mm wide, narrowed towards base, rounded-obtuse, coriaceous, glabrous, with 3–5 main veins and relatively few obscure longitudinally anastomosing minor veins in between; glands 2 or 3 along upper margin; lowermost gland 0–2 mm above pulvinus. Inflorescences simple, 1 or 2 per axil with one head of each pair maturing before the other; peduncles 3–8 mm long, glabrous; heads globular, 25–30-flowered. Flowers 5-merous; sepals ⅓-united. Pods linear, alternately raised over seeds and scarcely constricted between them, to 10 cm long, 6–8 mm wide, thinly coriaceous, glabrous. Seeds longitudinal, subcircular, ± 3.5 mm long, dull, dark brown; pleurogram prominent; funicle slightly thickened into a narrowly clavate aril.
