Acacia gloeotricha is an openly-branched, sticky shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 4 m (13 ft), its branchlets finely ribbed and covered with glandular hairs. The phyllodes are erect, narrowly elliptic and asymmetric, the lower margin more or less straight and the upper margin convex, 20–90 mm (0.79–3.54 in) long and 8–18 mm (0.31–0.71 in) wide. The phyllodes are covered with glandular hairs, with three to five veins that are more prominent than the rest, and there are stipules at the base of the phyllodes. The flowers are bright golden yellow and borne in mostly two cylindrical spikes about 40 mm (1.6 in) long on a peduncle 7–15 mm (0.28–0.59 in) long. Flowering has been recorded in June, and the pods are linear, 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long, crusty, covered with glandular hairs and raised over the seeds. The seeds are shiny black, broadly elliptic, about 4.5 mm (0.18 in) long with a white aril.
