It is a small shrub with spoon-shaped, greyish green leaves and small, pendulous, pink flowers in the upper leaf axils. Flowers and fruits sporadically throughout the year. Sepals long white or pink; style long, white or pink. Homoranthus thomasii is distinguished from most other species of Homoranthus by its tall growth habit, axehead-shaped leaves and pendulous flowers. This species was first formally described in 1864 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name "Chamelaucium thomasii" and published the description in the journal "Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae". In 1991, Lyndley Craven and S.R.Jones changed the name to "Homoranthus thomasii". The specific epithet ("thomasii") honours the Melbourne doctor David John Thomas (1813–1871). "Homoranthus thomasii" grows in heath and woodland from Pentland to Mitchell. Grows on shallow, sandy soils derived from sandstone, mostly in woodland or heath. Although widely distributed, "H. thomasii" is of sporadic occurrence and was considered rare by Briggs and Leigh (1996). Given several recent discoveries of species in conservation areas. Now considered a ROTAP conservation 3RCa.
