Acacia cuneifolia is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae endemic to south western parts of Australia.
The erect straggly shrub typically grows to a height of 1.0 to 3.0 metres (3.3 to 9.8 ft). [1] It has glabrous to puberulous branchlets with stipules that are 1 to 3 mm (0.039 to 0.118 in) in length. The evergreen phyllodes are variably shaped but most often cuneate to oblong-cuneate. They have a length of 8 to 15 mm (0.31 to 0.59 in) and a width of 2 to 6 mm (0.079 to 0.236 in) wide with a prominent central midrib. [2] It blooms from July to October and produces yellow flowers. [1] The simple inflorescences occur in groups of one to six per axil and have spherical flower-heads with a diameter of 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.14 to 0.18 in) containing 23 to 26 golden flowers. The glabrous strongly curved to loosely coiled seed pods that form after flowering have a length of up to 5 cm (2.0 in) and are 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in) wide and contain dull dark brown seeds with an oblong to slightly elliptic shape that are 4 to 5 mm (0.16 to 0.20 in) in length.
