The tree or shrub is slender, has rough bark and typically grows to a height of 2 to 5 metres (7 to 16 ft). It blooms from July to September producing yellow flowers.[1] The slightly fissured to shredded looking bark is present on the trunk and larger limbs with the angular upper branchlets that are glabrous and have resinous ridges and brown triangular stipules that are 1 to 2 mm (0.039 to 0.079 in) in height. The evergreen phyllodes have a linear to narrowly elliptic and linear-oblanceolate shape and can be slightly curved or straight. The phyllodes are 4 to 14.5 cm (1.6 to 5.7 in) in length and 3 to 14 mm (0.12 to 0.55 in) with two or three prominent main nerves and two or three secondary nerves.[2]
