The tree can grow to a height of Шаблон:Convert. The young branchlets are densely haired with the hairs obscuring ribs. It has straight and flat evergreen phyllodes that are around Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert wide that are also covered in hair while still immature.

Two synonyms are known; Acacia aneura var. fuliginea and Racosperma aneurum var. fuligineum.[3]

Distribution

In Western Australia it is found scattered across a large area in the Wheatbelt, Mid West and Goldfields regions of Western Australia.[4] It is also found through interior areas of South Australia.[1]
