Description

The shrub typically grows to a height of 3 m (9.8 ft) and has glabrous branchlets with a white frosted appearance. It has green phyllodes with a narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate shape and a length of 3 to 6 cm (1.2 to 2.4 in) and a width of 6 to 12 mm (0.24 to 0.47 in). When it blooms around August it produces spherical flower-heads containing 20 to 30 yellow flowers. [2] The seed pods that form after flowering reach a length of up to 5 cm (2.0 in) and a width of 13 mm (0.51 in). The shiny black seeds within the pods are 3.5 to 4 mm (0.14 to 0.16 in) in length.

Distribution

It only has a limited distribution in the Great Dividing Range about 60 km (37 mi) north of Tambo where it grows on eroded sandstone hills as a part of Eucalyptus bakeri woodlands. [2] in skeletal sandy soils. Only around 100 specimens were observed at the site in 1973. [3]
