The glabrous narrowly elliptic phyllodes can be straight to sickle shaped with a length of 9 to 19 cm (3.5 to 7.5 in) and a width of 13 to 44 mm (0.51 to 1.73 in) with many parallel longitudinal nerves numerous where three nerves are more evident than the rest. It blooms between August and September producing golden flowers. The simple inflorescences occur as flower-spikes with a length of 5 to 9 cm (2.0 to 3.5 in) long.[3]
