The shrub typically grows to a height of less than 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) and has a spindly habit and glabrous dark reddish branchlets.

The evergreen phyllodes have an oblanceolate or sometimes narrowly elliptic shape and are straight to shallowly incurved.

The dull black seeds have an oblong to elliptic shape and a length of 5 mm (0.20 in) with a clavate aril.
