Acacia binata is a dense, domed, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.25–1 m (9.8 in – 3 ft 3.4 in) with many branches at ground level at first. The phyllodes are fleshy, green, more or less circular in cross section 8–17 mm (0.31–0.67 in) long and 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) wide with three obscure veins. The flowers are borne in pairs of spherical to slightly oblong heads in racemes on a peduncle 6–15 mm (0.24–0.59 in) long. Each head is 3.5–5 mm (0.14–0.20 in) in diameter with usually 10 to 20 golden-yellow flowers. Flowering occurs from August to October, and the pods are curved to irregularly coiled, firmly leathery to thinly crust-like, 35 mm (1.4 in) long and 3.0–3.5 mm (0.12–0.14 in) wide containing grey to grey-brown, oblong to elliptic or egg-shaped seeds 2.5–3 mm (0.098–0.118 in) long with a relatively large aril.
