Dicrastylis beveridgei is a shrub, growing to 1 m high, in red sand, on sand dunes. Its stems are roughly circular in cross section. The opposite and entire leaves are 10–22 mm long by 2.5–5 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface. There are no bracteoles, but there are bracts which are 2.2-2.5. mm. The flowers are sessile. The calyx has five lobes (0.8-1.2 mm long), which are covered in dendritic hairs, and the yellow and white corolla is 3–4 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat. There are five stamens. Flowers may be seen from January to December. [4]

It is found in the IBRA regions of Central Ranges, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, and Little Sandy Desert. [4]
