[4] Dicrastylis capitellata is a low spreading shrub, growing from 20 cm to 25 cm high, in sandy loams.

Its stems are roughly circular in cross section.

The opposite and entire leaves are 7–25 mm long by 0.5-2.5 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface.

The calyx has five lobes (1.2–2 mm long), and is covered in dendritic hairs, and the blue corolla is 4–5 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat.

[1] It was first described by Ahmad Abid Munir in 1978 as Dicrastylis capitellata, from a specimen collected by W.R.
