To 10m high with wispy to dense pendulous branches resembling casuarinas. Young trees have stiff foliage with sharp points, probably as a defence against browsers.

Acacia peuce is only found in 3 locations, all within the arid zone of the Simpson and Strzelecki desert. Mature trees slowly reach a height of about 10-15m. They have long narrow, drooping grey green phyllodes. The canopy is spreading. Bark is rough, dark grey. Juvenile trees have an upright form and have very prickly foliage. Flowers are pale yellow, arranged in small rounded heads. Seed pods are large and flattened, up to 20 cm long and 4cm wide. Seeds are large. The wood is hard, dense and heavy.
