Brachyscome rigidula is a hairy, glandular, rambling perennial to 36 cm (14 in) high.

The blue or white flowers are borne singly, 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) in diameter, disc florets yellow, peduncle glandular, softly hairy, 6–12 cm (2.4–4.7 in) long, involucral bracts jagged, oblong-shaped and pointed.

[2][3] This species was first described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle as Steiroglossa rigidula.

[4] In 1948 Gwenda Louise Davis changed the name to Brachyscome rigidula and the description was published in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.

[7] Brachyscome rigidula grows in woodlands and forests at higher altitudes in well-drained soils in Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.
