Like most ''Acacias'' it has phyllodes instead of true leaves, the rigid, terete phyllodes that are in length and wide. The globular yellow flowerheads with a diameter of and containing 12 to 30 flowers appear singly in the leaf axils from August to November. Following flowering curved flat, seed pods form that are long and wide. Taxonomy The species was first formally described by Robert Brown in 1813 as ''Acacia acicularis'', but that name had already been applied to a different species. In 1817 Poiret published ''Mimosa brownei'' as a replacement name. The current name was published by botanist Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in 1821 as part of the work ''Phanerogams.
