Narrow-winged Wattle

It is a rigid and prickly shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 0.7 metres (0.7 to 2.3 ft) but can reach as high as 2 m (7 ft). It can have a scrambling, sprawling or tangled erect habit. The shrub has ridged stems and curving spine-tipped phyllodes that form continuous wings along the stem. It produces globular, cream or yellow flowerheads between March and December in the species' native range. After flowering it will produce quadrangular seed pods that are 3 to 7 centimetres (1.2 to 2.8 in) long with prominent ridges.

The shrub is found from the Mid West, Wheatbelt, Peel, South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia where it is found in a variety of habitats growing in sandy soils often around laterite.
