Spyridium × ramosissimum is a shrub that typically grows to a height of , its branches covered with woolly hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped to lance-shaped,  long,  wide and glabrous with prominent veins. The edges of the leaves curve slightly downwards, the upper surface greyish-green and the lower surface silky- or rusty-hairy with a prominent midvein.

Flowering occurs from August to October and the fruit is a capsule about  long. Taxonomy
This species was first formally described in 1922 by James Wales Claredon Audas who gave it the name Trymalium × ramosissimum in The Victorian Naturalist from specimens collected on Mount Difficult in the Grampians. In 2006, Jürgen Kellermann changed the name to Spyridium × ramosissimum in the journal Muelleria. Distribution
Spyridium × ramosissimum is a hybrid between S. daltonii and S. parvifolium and is only known from the Grampians, where both parent species occur. It is not known to produce seed. References
