Eremaea ebracteata is a shrub which grows to a height of about 1.0 metre (3 ft) and which has its younger branches densely covered with fine hairs.
The leaves are linear to broad egg-shaped with the narrower end towards to base, 2.5–8.2 millimetres (0.1–0.3 in) long, 0.5–1.7 millimetres (0.02–0.07 in) wide and have a single prominent vein visible on the lower surface. (
The two varieties differ mainly in leaf size and shape.)

The flowers are orange and are on the ends of long branches which grew earlier in the same season.
The flowers occur singly, rarely two or three together.
There are 5 sepals which are hairy on the outside surface and 5 petals 5.4–6.7 millimetres (0.2–0.3 in) long.
The stamens are arranged in 5 bundles, each containing 40 to 60 stamens.
Flowering occurs from November to December and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules.
The capsules are 5.8–8.4 millimetres (0.2–0.3 in) long, 5.7–9.5 millimetres (0.2–0.4 in) long, cup shaped to almost spherical and are rough or lumpy on the outer surface.
