Eremophila glutinosa is an erect shrub growing to a height of between 0.4 and 3 metres (1 and 10 ft) with branches that are densely covered with glandular hairs that are often obscured by a thick layer of resin.
The leaves are mostly 8–20 mm (0.3–0.8 in) long, 0.5–1.5 mm (0.02–0.06 in) wide, densely clustered near the ends of the branches, linear in shape, channelled on the lower surface and covered with resin.


The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on a sticky, hairy stalk, usually 1.5–6.5 mm (0.06–0.3 in) long.
There are 5 overlapping, green, lance-shaped to egg-shaped sepals which are mostly 6–10.5 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long and hairy on both the inner and outer surfaces.
The petals are 10–25 mm (0.4–1 in) long and joined at their lower end to form a tube.
The tube is a shade of lilac with dark spots inside the tube and on part of the lobes.
The outside of the tube is sparsely hairy, the inside of the lobes glabrous and the inside of the tube is densely woolly.
 The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the tube.
Flowering occurs from June to October and is followed by fruits which are dry, woody, hairy and 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in) long.
