[1] It blooms in June and July and produces bright yellow inflorescences[2] with a globular shape.

[1] The species was first formally described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1877 in the work Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.

[5] It is found in a small are between Cunderdin, Quairading and Tammin in gravelly sand or sandy clay soils.

[5] The species was thought to be extinct until botanist Brenden Lepschi found a small population near Cunderdin in 1996.

Since each population was small and highly threatened, it was declared as Rare Flora in October 1996 and as Critically Endangered in December 1997.
