It is a shrub or small tree with elliptical to egg-shaped leaves and cylindrical, greenish-yellow or reddish-mauve flowers arranged singly or in groups of up to seven in leaf axils or on the ends of branchlets.
Correa lawrenceana var. latrobeana is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 3 m (9.8 ft) or a tree to 16 m (52 ft).
