It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[2] It has an erect or spreading shrub habit, growing to between 1 and 5 metres in height and has a peak flowering period between July and October (mid winter to mid spring) in its native range.[2]

The species was first formally described by botanist Carl Meissner in 1845 in Plantae Preissianae.[1][3]
