Acacia brownii, the Heath Wattle, is a small shrub reaching a height of one metre. The phyllodes are rigid, 4-angled, about two centimetres long and crowned with a sharp point.
The flowers are held in globular clusters with 12-30 flowers in each cluster and bright yellow. A single flower cluster is held in the axil of each phyllode. Plants become covered with the bright yellow blooms in spring. Because the phyllodes are widely spaced the flowers are well displayed.
