Boronia exilis is an erect perennial with slender stems that grows to a height of about 1 m (3 ft) and has many slender, glabrous branches. The leaves are simple, more or less cylindrical 10–15 mm (0.4–0.6 in) long and fall off early so that there are few leaves on the lower part of the stems. The flowers are pink and are borne in groups of between three and nine, each on a pedicel 5–12 mm (0.2–0.5 in) long with hairy bracts at the base that fall off as the flower develops. The four sepals are dark red, hairy on both sides and about 4 mm (0.16 in) long. The four petals are pink, oblong to elliptic and about 7 mm (0.3 in) long and the eight stamens are hairy.
