Calycadenia pauciflora is an annual herb producing a slender, crooked, branching stem coated with hairs, growing up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) tall. The leaves are linear in shape and up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) long. The inflorescence bears bracts studded with large resin glands and small clusters of flower heads. The hairy, glandular flower head has a center of a few disc florets and one or two white or red triple-lobed ray florets. Each ray floret has three lobes at the tip, the middle lobe being shortest. The fruit is an achene; those developing from the disc florets have a pappus of scales.[4]
