The glabrous shrub to typically grows to a height of 1 to 5 m (3 ft 3 in to 16 ft 5 in) and has slender and angular branchlets that are a dark reddish brown colour. Like many species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen phyllodes have a narrowly oblanceolate shape that is infrequently narrowly elliptic. The phyllodes are straight to shallowly incurved with a length of 3.5 to 9 cm (1.4 to 3.5 in) and a width of 3 to 11 m (9.8 to 36.1 ft) with three to seven indistinct and widely spaced longitudinal nerves.

It is usually situated in elevated areas that are around 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level growing in shallow sandy soils with a sandstone base as a part of woodland communities along with Corymbia trachyphloia and Acacia shirleyi . It is also occasionally found along sandy banks of minor watercourses at lower elevations. [1]
