Acacia dissona is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–2 m (1 ft 8 in – 6 ft 7 in) and often has more or less contorted branches and more or less ribbed branchlets covered with soft hairs. Its phyllodes are inclined to erect, straight, terete or subterete, 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long, 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) wide and sharply pointed with many closely parallel veins. The flowers are borne in two spherical heads in axils on peduncles mostly 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long, the heads 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) in diameter with 15 to 20 golden yellow flowers. The varieties flower at different times, and the pods are linear, moderately curved, thinly crusty or thinly leathery, up to 60 mm (2.4 in) long and 2.5 mm (0.098 in) wide with soft hairs pressed against the surface. The seeds are oblong, 2.5–4.5 mm (0.098–0.177 in) long, about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) wide and glossy dark brown with a conical or broadly rounded, crested, pale yellow aril on the end.
