Swainsona microphylla is a prostrate or low-growing, sometimes erect perennial herb that typically grows to a height of up to 60 cm (24 in) long and sometimes has softly-hairy branches. The leaves are imparipinnate, mostly 50–150 mm (2.0–5.9 in) long with mostly broadly wedge-shaped to round leaflets, the leaflets 1–5 mm (0.039–0.197 in) long and wide with stipules 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long at the base of the petioles. The flowers are white, pink or purple, arranged in racemes of 10 to 25, on a peduncle 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) wide, each flower 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long on a pedicel 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long. The sepals are joined at the base to form a tube about 1 mm (0.039 in) long, with teeth much shorter than the tube. The standard petal is 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long and 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) wide, the wings 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long and the keel 4.5–7 mm (0.18–0.28 in) long and 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) broad. The fruit is an almost spherical pod 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) long and 3–9 mm (0.12–0.35 in) wide with the remains of the style 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long.
