The erect and spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 0.25 to 0.7 metres (0.8 to 2.3 ft). It blooms between September and November producing cream-white-pink flowers.

It is found in a small area on hill slopes in the Great Southern region of Western Australia centred around the Stirling Range where it grows in sandy-peaty soils.[1]
