Euryops brownei is a woody herb or shrub of ½–3 m (1⅔–10 ft) high, with yellow flowerheads of both ray and disc florets, and small, narrow leaves, belonging to the daisy family.

[1] The plants are rich in flower heads, which stand in the higher leaf axils on their own stem (peduncle) of ¾–4½ cm (0.03–0.18 in) long, with few hairs or densely woolly.

[1] Euryops brownei was first described by Spencer Le Marchant Moore in 1916, based on a plant collected by Browne on Mount Kenya in 1914, now at the Natural History Museum, London.

Robert Elias Fries considered a plant he collected in the Aberdare Range at Sattima to be sufficiently different to distinguish it as Euryops brownei subsp.

[1] Euryops brownei can amongst elsewhere be found in the lower alpine zone of Mount Kenya, where it grows together with the shrubs Adenocarpus mannii, Anthospermum usambarense, Helichrysum chionoides, Phillippia excelsa, Protea kilimandscharica and Struthiola thomsonii, grasses Deschampsia flexuosa and Pentaschistis minor, herbs Dierama cupuliflorum, Gladiolus watsonioides, Alepidea massaica, among others.
