The pods have a length of about and a width og and contain subglossy mottled blackish coloured seeds that have an elliptic or oblong-elliptic shape and are in length and have a crested aril. Distribution. It is native to an area in the Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it is commonly situated  around salt flats and lakes, on slopes or sandplains growing in rocky loamy or sandy soils. It has a scattered distribution with the bulk of the population found from Ongerup in the west to around the Wittenoom Hills approximately north of Esperance to the east and up to around Hyden in the north. Other outlying populations are found around Merredin, Kellerberrin and Boorabbin National Park as well as to the south of Zanthus where it is often a part of "Banksia" and "Casuarina" scrubland and "Eucalyptus" scrub-woodland communities.
