Dicrastylis doranii is a spreading shrub, growing from 20 cm up to as high as 1.5 m, on yellow and red sands, on sand dunes and sandplains. Its stems are roughly circular in cross section. The opposite and entire leaves are 10–18 mm long by 1–7 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface. There are no bracteoles, but there are bracts which are 2–2.5 mm long. The flower stalks are 0.3-0.5 mm long, and have dendritic and peltate scale hairs. The calyx has five lobes (0.6–1 mm long), which are densely covered in dendritic hairs. The white or cream corolla is 4–5 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat. There are five stamens. Flowers may be seen from July to December or January. [4]
