It is a shrub with oblong to elliptic or egg-shaped leaves and white or pink flowers arranged in groups of three to eight in leaf axils.

myoporoides is a shrub, sometimes a small tree, that typically grows to a height of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) with glabrous, slightly to moderately glandular-warty stems.

The leaves are variable in shape, oblong to elliptic or broadly elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 20–110 mm (0.79–4.33 in) long, 6–22 mm (0.24–0.87 in) wide and glandular-warty with a prominent midrib.

The petals are broadly elliptic, white to pink and about 8 mm (0.31 in) long and the stamens are free from each other and hairy.

[9] Subspecies myoporoides is the most widespread and most variable of the species and occurs along the Great Dividing Range, mainly from Denman in New South Wales to near Healesville in Victoria.
