[3] Dicrastylis cordifolia is a spreading shrub, growing to 1 m high, in red sands or red stony loams, on sand dunes, plains and ridges.

The opposite and entire leaves are 12–30 mm long by 5–20 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface.

The calyx has five lobes (1.5–3 mm long), and is covered in dendritic hairs, and the white to cream corolla is 5–8 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat.

[4] It was first described by Ahmad Abid Munir in 1978 as Dicrastylis cordifolia.
