The erect shrub typically grows to a height of 0.8 to 2 metres (3 to 7 ft) and produces white flowers.

It is found among rocky outcrops in where the Wheatbelt meets the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia between Yalgoo and Perenjori where it grows in silty to sandy soils around granite and laterite.[1]
