Nototrichium divaricatum are densely branching shrubs 0.3–2 meters tall, with most parts covered with silvery-white hairs.[1] Leaves are oppositely arranged, with leaf blades 3–7.5 cm long and 1–4.6 cm wide. Inflorescences bear several spikes, and are terminal and usually solitary, rarely 2 or 3 together, and compoundly branched. Each spike bears 8–30 small flowers.[2]
This species was first described in 1996. There are possibly fewer than 3,000 N. divaricatum plants in existence.
