Description

"Spreading shrub 2–4 m high, occasionally tree to 9 m high." (WorldWideWattle, Ver. 2)

"Terminal branchlets brown. Phyllodes 20–45 (–55) mm wide. Pods curved, sometimes into an open circle. Seeds 3.5–4 mm long." (WorldWideWattle, Ver. 2)

Notes

"Grows in a variety of soil types; frequently forms dense, nearly monotypic stands along dry, stony or sandy drainage lines. It is a colonising species and a component of many semi-arid, subtropical plant communities, especially the Acacia -dominated scrubs and tall open shrublands of north-western Australia. Dense regrowth populations often develop in disturbed sites such as road verges, gravel pits and burnt areas." (WorldWideWattle, Ver. 2)

"Extending from the Pilbara and southern Kimberley region, W.A., E across the Great Sandy and Tanami Deserts, N.T., to north-western Qld." (WorldWideWattle, Ver. 2)
