Narrow phyllodes, widest below the middle, long attenuate to the apex which is slightly thickened. Forms mixed stands with subsp. leiocalyx particularly between Bundaberg and Maryborough but stands out because of its narrower phyllodes and the fact that it flowers later (Austrobaileya Vol. 5 No. 2 1999).
