Description ³

The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 2 metres (0.7 to 6.6 ft). The pinnae form in pairs along the branchlet. The proximal pinnae are 1 to 4 millimetres (0.04 to 0.16 in) in length while the distal are 2 to 30 mm (0.08 to 1.18 in) long. It blooms from May to November and produces cream-yellow flowers. Each inflorescence is simple forming one or two per axil. The heads have a globular shape that is sometimes obloid with a diameter of 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in) composed of 12 to 21 flowers. Following flowering it will form green, glabrous narrowly-oblong seed pods with a length of 1 to 4.5 cm (0.4 to 1.8 in) and 5 to 9 mm (0.20 to 0.35 in) wide. the brown seeds have an oblong to elliptic shape and are 2 to 4 mm (0.08 to 0.16 in) long.
