The diffuse spreading shrub can grow to a height of 0.3 to 2 metres (1 to 7 ft). It flowers from June to July producing yellow flowers. The plant will grown in red loam, sand or gravel soils and is often found on the plains or rocky hills.[3]

It grows in Beard’s Province: South-West Province, and in the IBRA regions: Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains.[3]

It is listed as critically endangered under the Wildlife Conservation Act of Western Australia,[4] and as endangered on the IUCN redlist.[2] and under the Commonwealth environmental protection act.[1]

It is mainly found on roadside verges and in small areas of remnant native vegetation within farmland, giving rise to the following threats:

• disturbance from road and firebreak maintenance;
• chemical drift from fertilisers and herbicides;
• competition from weeds; and
• inappropriate fire regimes[2]
