The leaves are lance-shaped to elliptic, long and wide on a petiole about long. There are a few soft hairs on the upper surface of the leaves but the lower surface is glabrous. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils near the tips of the branches and are more or less sessile, with white, egg-shaped bracts near the base. The sepals are white, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, long. The petals are white and joined at the base, forming a bell-shaped tube long with lobes long and wide. The style is long and is enclosed in the petal tube with the stamens. Flowering occurs from January to November. Taxonomy and naming Epacris apsleyensis was first formally described in 1986 by Ron Crowden in Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania based on plant material he collected
