The glabrous and viscid shrub typically grows to a height of up to 3 m (9.8 ft) and has a rounded habit and reddish-coloured young shoots.

The green phyllodes have a length of 6 to 10 m (20 to 33 ft) and a width of 2 to 3 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) and are narrowed towards the base with an obvious midrib and obscure.

When it blooms it produces simple inflorescences that occur singly in the axils with spherical flower-heads containing 30 golden-coloured flowers.

The seeds inside are arranged longitudinally and have an oblong-elliptic to ovate shape with a length of 2.5 to 3.5 mm (0.098 to 0.138 in) with the funicle folded below the oblique aril.

[1] The shrub has a limited distribution on the Isla Gorge National Park area of the Central region of Queensland where it is found on sandstone plateaus growing in skeletal sandy soils among Eucalyptus woodland communities.
