Mature phyllodes (leaf) right green, oblong lanceolate or falcate, 10-16 cm long and 1.5-3 cm wide with 3 prominent longitudinal veins running into each other on the lower margin near the base. There is a prominent raised gland at the base of the phyllode (leaf). Flowers axillary spikes, 3-4 cm long, almost white to pale yellow and very faintly perfumed. Pods linear, spirally and tightly coiled and glaucous when immature. Seeds longitudinal in the pod, 3-5 mm long, 2-3 mm wide. 15 Seeds Germination: 5-15 days Pre-treatment: Pour just-boiled water over seeds in a container and soak for 24 hours.
