It is a prostrate, sprawling, straggling or ascending shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.1–0.6 m (3.9 in – 1 ft 11.6 in), rarely as tall as 1 m (3 ft 3 in). It blooms between August and March producing yellow flowers. It was first formally described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae. The specific epithet (amplexicaulis) means "stem-clasping", referring to the leaves.
