The sepal lobes are egg-shaped to triangular, 0.5–0.7 mm (0.020–0.028 in) long with a pointed tip.

The petals are pale pink to white, broadly egg-shaped to almost round and about twice the size of the sepals.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1983 by Malcolm Trudgen and Greg Keighery who gave it the name Angasomyrtus salina and published the description in the journal Nuytsia.

[3][4] The genus Angasomyrtus was named after the co-discoverer, Angas Hopkins, who is known for his work on the ecology and conservation of Western Australian flora.

[3] Following phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences, Peter de Lange and Hellmut Toelken changed the name to Kunzea salina.
