It grows to between 1 and 3 metres in height and produces flowers between August and December (late winter to early summer) in its native range.[2] The infloresences are cream or yellow terminal racemes.[2] The leaves are 1 to 12 cm long and 1 to 9 mm wide.[2]
The species was first formally described by Carl Meissner in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis in 1856, from material collected by James Drummond.[1][3] Two subspecies are currently recognised: subsp. didymobotrya and subsp. involuta.[3]
