It is a scrambling shrub with wiry branches, trifoliate leaves and pink or magenta flowers.

Bauera sessiliflora is a scrambling shrub that typically grows to a height of about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and has wiry branches.

The flowers are borne in leaf axils and are about 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) wide and sessile.

[2][3] Bauera sessiliflora was first formally described in 1855 by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in his book Definitions of rare or hitherto undescribed Australian plants, based on plant material collected at Mount William in the Grampians National Park.

[2] Bauera sessiliflora is not common in gardens, but can be grown in moist, well-drained soil.
