It is an ascending or erect annual. The plant normally grows to about 60 cm in height, and is usually simple or few-branched. Inflorescence bracts are papery and golden-yellow in colour. It has thin, fleshy roots with a mean maximum diameter of 2 mm.
Seedlings are tolerant of existing adult competition. Its post-fire regenerative strategy is by both seed and sprout.
