Eutaxia parvifolia is an erect or prostrate, spindly, densely branched shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.2–2 m (7.9 in – 6 ft 6.7 in) and has reddish-brown, glabrous stems. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 2.5–17 mm (0.098–0.669 in) long and 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) wide on a petiole 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, often crowded near the ends of branchlets, each flower on a pedicel 1–2.4 mm (0.039–0.094 in) long. The sepals are ribbed and hairy, 4.5–7 mm (0.18–0.28 in) long and fused at the base. The petals are mostly yellow, red or orange with yellow, red or orange spots, streaks or blotches.
