The tree or shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 3 metres (1+1⁄2 to 10 ft) but can grow as tall as 8 m (26 ft) and has slender to spreading branches. The ribbed branchlets can be either glabrous or hairy. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The grey-green coloured and crowded, on short stem-projections. The glabrous phyllodes are quite inequilateral with an obdeltate shape with a length of 7 to 16 millimetres (1⁄4 to 5⁄8 in) and a width of 5 to 14 mm (3⁄16 to 9⁄16 in). It produces racemes of ball-shaped yellow flowers in winter and spring. The prolific inflorescences have spherical flower-heads with a diameter of 5 to 6 mm containing 8 to 12 golden coloured flowers. Following flowering, firmly chartaceous and glabrous seed pods form with a narrowly oblong shape, measuring up to 8 centimetres (3 in) long and 6–9 mm (1⁄4–3⁄8 in) wide. The dull black seeds inside have an oblong to ovate shape with a length of 3–5 mm (1⁄8–3⁄16 in) and a clavate aril.
