Halothamnus beckettii is a sub-shrub only 20–40 cm high, strongly branched and densely foliated.
The whole surface of the plant is covered with small white pustules.
The half-terete leaves with concave upper side are narrowly triangular, with dense tufts of long curly hairs in their axils, about 11 mm long, and with a cartilaginous spiny apex.
The flowers are 7,5-8,5 mm long (longer than other Halothamnus species).
The winged fruit is 11–13 mm in diameter, their wings inserting at 1/5 of the fruit height, the tepal lobes with prominent mid rib.
