Plant description

A low shrub that grows to 1 m, in sunny spots on a variety of soils. It tolerates salt well and grows near the beach. It has hairy leaves, not phyllodes (flattened leaf stems), and there may be one or two spines in each leaf axil. Like red-eyed wattle, this and the following wattles support the two-spotted line-blue, but only when they are flowering.
