Acacia filamentosa is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.9–2 m (3–7 ft) and sometimes has resinous branchlets. Its phyllodes are ascending, coarsely thread-like, curved to shallowly curved, terete, 150–200 mm (5.9–7.9 in) long and about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide with about eight, very obscure veins. The flowers are borne in two densely flowered spikes 20–25 mm (0.79–0.98 in) long and 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter, in axils on peduncles 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long. Flowering occurs from June to September, and the pods are crusty to thinly leathery and glabrous, up to 110 mm (4.3 in) long, 3 mm (0.12 in) wide and striated. The seeds are narrowly oblong, 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long, brown with a yellowish band and a pale yellowish, top-shaped aril.
