Description

Dodonaea tenuifolia is a spreading, dioecious shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 3 m (9.8 ft). Its leaves are imparipinnate 45–95 mm (1.8–3.7 in) long on a petiole 8.5–18 mm (0.33–0.71 in) long, with mostly 9 to 25 glabrous, linear side leaflets, mostly 9–22 mm (0.35–0.87 in) long, 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide and usually shallowly channelled on the upper surface with a narrowly wedge-shaped base. The flowers are arranged in axils in cymes of 6 to 10, each flower on a pedicel 6.5–9 mm (0.26–0.35 in) long. The flowers have four egg-shaped sepals 1.5–1.6 mm (0.059–0.063 in) long that fall off as the flowers open and a glabrous ovary. The fruit is a glabrous, four-winged, oblong capsule, mostly 4.5–5.0 mm (0.18–0.20 in) long and 10.5–20 mm (0.41–0.79 in) wide, the wings leathery and 2.5–5 mm (0.098–0.197 in) wide.
