[2] It tends to branch from ground level and the glabrous, resinous, brown branchlets are slightly angled toward the extremities with minute stipules and grey to reddish-brown coloured bark.

The evergreen, resinous, terete or compressed phyllodes have a length of 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 in) and a width of 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.020 to 0.059 in) and are straight, curved or slightly sigmoid and have two obscure often brownish and impressed veins.

[2] It has simple inflorescences that occur singly in the axils with spherical flower-heads that contain 20 to 30 light- to mid-golden coloured flowers.

[3] It is native to an area in the north west of South Australia, the south western Northern Territory and the Goldfields region of Western Australia where it is commonly situated on sand dunes and sand plains growing in red or yellow sandy soils.

[2] The bulk of the population is found from around Wiluna in the west through to Mount Olga in the Northern Territory in the east and is usually a part of open spinifex communities.
