Shrub to 1 m high. Branchlets ridged or angular with prominent decurrent leaf bases, glandular-verrucose, with sparse, mainly stellate hairs between decurrent leaf bases, otherwise glabrous. Leaves trifoliolate; petiole 6–10 mm long; central leaflet elliptic to slightly obovate, 11–25 mm long, 3.5–8 mm wide, entire, flat or margins slightly recurved, acute, shortly mucronate, slightly glandular-verrucose; adaxial surface with few simple hairs along midrib; abaxial surface glabrous or with few hairs, with midrib raised, slightly glandular-verrucose, secondary veins usually obscure. Inflorescences shorter than or nearly equal to subtending leaves, usually 7-flowered. Sepals c. 1.5 mm long, not glandular-verrucose; adaxial surface with scattered appressed simple hairs; abaxial surface glabrous or few hairs at base. Petals imbricate, c. 2.5 mm long, pink-cream, sparsely to densely stellate adaxially, sparsely stellate-pubescent abaxially, denser along margins. Filaments glabrous, slightly glandular or not at tip. Cocci smooth or slightly glandular-verrucose, glabrous.
Grows at altitudes of 600–680 m in clefts and crevices of granite outcrops, under tall, open woodland of Eucalyptus montivaga with a shrubby understorey, and in montane heath with Leptospermum, Alyxia and Lomandra.
