[3] Dicrastylis soliparma is spreading shrub, growing from 30 cm to 1.5 m high, on sandy soils, on sandplains and road verges.

Its stems are roughly circular in cross section, with a dense white or rusty coloured covering when young, and have no peltate scales.

The flower stalks are 2–4.5 mm long, and have both dendritic and peltate scale hairs.

The calyx has five lobes (1–2 mm long), and is covered in dendritic hairs, and the white or cream corolla is 3–6.2 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat.

[4] It was first described by Barbara Rye and Malcolm Trudgen in 1998 as Dicrastylis soliparma.
