It grows to between 0.5 and 1 metre in height and has white-tomentose branchlets. The scale-like leaves are 1 to 3 mm long and 0.5 to 1 mm wide. These are green on the upper surface, and white tomentose below.[3] The flower heads appear in dense clusters in summer and autumn[3] The species occurs in boggy sites and subalpine heathland in New South Wales and Victoria.[3] It was first formally described in 2010 in the journal Muelleria.[1]
