It is a shrub with linear to lance-shaped leaves and pinkish-mauve flowers arranged singly or in scatter groups with about 45 to 50 white stamens that become reddish-purple as the flower ages.
This starflower grows on shallow sand over sandstone in heathy scrub, spinifex and woodland, in the Arnhem Plateau and Pine Creek bioregions in the north of the Northern Territory.
