Holocarpha heermannii is an annual herb growing mostly erect from 20 centimetres (7.9 in) to over 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height. The stem is densely glandular and coated in short and long hairs. The leaves are up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long near the base of the plant and those along the stem are smaller. [5]
The inflorescence is a spreading array of branches bearing clusters of flower heads. Each flower head is lined with phyllaries which are coated in large bulbous resin glands. They are hairy and sticky in texture. The head contains many yellow disc florets surrounded by three to 10 golden yellow ray florets. [5]
