It is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.6–2.4 m (2 ft 0 in – 7 ft 10 in) and has yellow or orange and purple flowers from September to October. It was first formally described in 1942 by Charles Gardner in the Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia. The specific epithet (longifolia) means "long-leaved".
