Stylidium schoenoides is a perennial herb growing to a height from .15 to 0.5 m high. The leaves form a rosette and are 14–35 cm by 1-1.8 mm and hairless, though there are membraneous scale leaves present at base of mature leaves. The flower stalk has glandular hairs and long soft weak hairs. The white-cream flowers may be seen from August to November.[1]
