Beaufortia sprengelioides is a rigid, spreading shrub which grows to a height of about 2 metres (7 ft).
The leaves are crowded and mostly arranged in alternate pairs (decussate), so that, especially on the younger branches, they make four rows along the stems.
The leaves are flat or slightly dished, broad egg-shaped to round, 2–3 millimetres (0.08–0.1 in) long and have 3 veins, not including the marginal veins.


The flowers are pale pink to white and arranged in spherical heads on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering.
The flowers have 5 sepals, 5 petals and 5 bundles of stamens.
The stamen bundles, which give the flowers their colour, contain 9 to 15 stamens and are joined for more than half their length.
Flowering occurs from July to November and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules.
