It is a shrub with rusty-hairy stems, more or less glabrous leaves with the edges rolled under, and greenish to cream-coloured flowers.

The lower surface of the leaves is densely covered with grey and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs.

The flowers are borne in small groups on a short peduncle and are greenish to cream-coloured with more or less linear bracteoles 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long below the base of the sepals.

[2][3] Lasiopetalum parviflorum was first formally described in 1811 by Edward Rudge in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.

[6] This lasiopetalum grows in grassy woodland and forest on the coast and nearby ranges of New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland.
