Acacia pritzeliana is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to south western Australia.
The open shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 0.9 metres (0.7 to 3.0 ft).[1] It has light grey and scarred branches and hairy branchlets with spinose stipules that have a length of around 2 mm (0.079 in). Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The crowded, rigid, pungent and evergreen phyllodes have a length of 4 to 10 mm (0.16 to 0.39 in) and a width of 1 to 2 mm (0.039 to 0.079 in) and are usually narrower near the apex with nerves that are rarely evident.[2] It blooms from April to June and produces yellow flowers.[1]
