Calytrix praecipua is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–70 cm (12–28 in). Its leaves are decussate, lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 2–8 mm (0.079–0.315 in) long and 0.8–1.2 mm (0.031–0.047 in) wide on a petiole 0.3–1 mm (0.012–0.039 in) long with stipules up to 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) long at the base. The flowers are borne on a narrowly funnel-shaped peduncle 5.5–6.0 mm (0.22–0.24 in) long with elliptic lobes 2.5–3.0 mm (0.098–0.118 in) long. The floral tube is 9.5–10 mm (0.37–0.39 in) long and spindle-shaped with ten ribs. The sepals are more or less round to egg-shaped, 1.5–1.7 mm (0.059–0.067 in) long and 1.5–1.8 mm (0.059–0.071 in) wide with an awn up to 14 mm (0.55 in) long. The petals are pink to pinkish-white, lance-shaped to narrowly elliptic, 6.5–8 mm (0.26–0.31 in) long and 1.75–2.4 mm (0.069–0.094 in) wide, and there are about 21 to 27 stamens in a single row. Flowering occurs in June.

This species of Calytrix grows on breakaways and among outcrops in a scattered area around Laverton in the Gascoyne, Great Victoria Desert, Little Sandy Desert and Murchison bioregions of inland Western Australia.
