Calytrix truncatifolia is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1.6 m (1 ft 4 in – 5 ft 3 in) and grows from the tips of the flowering stems. Its leaves are linear, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, or elliptic, 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long, 0.75–1.2 mm (0.030–0.047 in) wide on a petiole 0.25–1.0 mm (0.0098–0.0394 in) long, with stipules up to 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long at the base of the petiole. The flowers are arranged singly or in several scattered groups on a peduncle 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long with broadly egg-shaped to more or less round lobes 4.5–6.0 mm (0.18–0.24 in) long. The floral tube is more or less oval, 11–17 mm (0.43–0.67 in) long and has ten ribs. The sepals are broadly egg-shaped to round, 3.5–5.25 mm (0.138–0.207 in) long and 3.8–5.0 mm (0.15–0.20 in) wide with an awn up to 14 mm (0.55 in) long. The petals are pink to pinkish-purple and there are 90 to 150 stamens in five rows with yellow filaments that become pinkish later. Flowering occurs from June to September.
