Heavily foliaged, much branched shrubs to 2 m high, resinous (especially new shoots). Branchlets ribbed at extremities, hirsutellous to hispidulous with short, straight, patent hairs 0.1–0.2 mm long. Phyllodes somewhat crowded, patent to erect, linear, 20–43 mm long, 1–1.8 (–2.1) mm wide, straight or shallowly to moderately incurved, flat, excentrically mucronulate and sometimes subuncinate, glabrous or sometimes with sparse, patent hairs especially towards the base; midrib normally yellowish and somewhat evident, longitudinally trending, sparsely anastomosing secondary veins often present; gland minute, 0–1 mm above pulvinus. Inflorescences simple, single in upper axils; peduncles 6–8 mm long, resinous, glabrous or hairs similar to branchlets, ebracteate at base; heads globular, 20–35-flowered, slightly resinous. Flowers 5-merous; calyx c. ½ united. Pods linear, raised over seeds, to c. 40 mm long, 2.5–3.5 mm wide, rather chartaceous, dark red-brown.
