Description: Kunzea flavescens is a shrub that grows from 1 to 4 m tall. The young shoots, branchlets and calyces are pubescent. The branchlets are terete. The leaves are rather crowded, alternate, very shortly petiolate, oblanceolate or obovate, mucronulate to acute, glabrous above, 4 to 8 mm long, 2 to 3 times as long as broad; sometimes minutely pubescent on the underside. The venation is obscure or occasionally the mid-rib and sometimes a longitudinal nerve on each side of it are visible; The inflorescence is terminal, capitate or shortly spicate, about 10 to 13 mm in diameter. The bracts and bracteoles are similar, orbiculare, concave, pubescent outside, over 2 mm in diameter. The flowers are subsessile. The calyx is campanulate, (shaped like a bell), densely pubescent on the outside; the tube nearly 4 mm long, with five lobes that are lanceolate, about half as long as the tube. There are five petals that are white, orbiculare, glabrous, nearly 2mm in diameter. There are numerous stamens with slender filaments, nearly 4 mm long; anthers minute. Ovary filling the lower part of the calyx tube. Style 4 mm long; stigma flat, orbiculare (Stanley, 1986).

Kunzea cambagei, a New South Wales species is closely allied to this species, but is distinguished by its lateral and smaller inflorescence, smaller leaves (4-5 mm long), and narrower bracteoles (Stanley, 1986).
