The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.6 to 1.5 metres (2.0 to 4.9 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple, flat, linear and undissected leaves with a blade that is 16 to 60 millimetres (0.63 to 2.36 in) long and 0.5 to 1.6 mm (0.02 to 0.06 in) wide. It blooms in July and produces an axillary or terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with green, white or yellow flowers and white or pink styles. Later it forms ribbed or ridges ellipsoidal simple hairy fruit that is 9 to 11.5 mm (0.4 to 0.5 in) long.[1] It will regenerate from seed only.
