The semi-pungent phyllodes are thinly-coriaceous and have three distant raised main nerves with many parallel secondary nerves. [3] It blooms from April to June and produces yellow flowers. [1] The simple inflorescences occur singly in the axils. The spherical flower-heads globular have a diameter of 7 to 8 mm (0.28 to 0.31 in) and contain 45 to 60 golden coloured flowers. The linear seed pods that form after flowering are strongly curved or have a single coil. The pods have a length of up to 6 cm (2.4 in) and a width of 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in) and contain broadly elliptic to nearly circular seeds. The glossy black seeds have a length of 3.8 to 4.3 mm (0.15 to 0.17 in). [3]
