Diffuse shrub 0.5-2 m high. Branchlets puberulous. Young branchlets, phyllodes and often the peduncles puncticulate by brown to black circular resin papillae. Stipule bases commonly indurate, persisting as blunt tooth-like projections. Phyllodes subsessile, narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblong-elliptic, 1-3 (-4.5) cm long, 2-5 mm wide, l:w = 4-10, flat or undulate, obtuse to acute, mucronulate, not easily separated from branchlets, dark green, with margins and midribs verruculose by persistent tubercle-bases of hairs, prominently 1-nerved per face; lateral nerves few, obscure; gland 3-6 mm above base, sometimes absent. Inflorescences 2-5-headed racemes; racemes axes 4-7 mm long, sometimes growing out and resulting in single axillary heads; peduncles 6-20 mm long, slender, glabrous to sparsely puberulous, with a semi-persistent bract near or above the middle; heads globular to obloid, 5.5-7 mm long, 4-5.5 mm diam., 30-60-flowered, golden.
