Stenanthemum humile is an upright, perennial herb or shrub that typically grows to a height of 5–20 cm (2.0–7.9 in) and has its young stems covered with white, woolly hairs. Its leaves are usually linear, sometimes narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic, mostly 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide on a petiole 1.5–3.5 mm (0.059–0.138 in) long. There are egg-shaped or rectangular stipules 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long forming a sheath around the stems. The edges of the leaves are rolled under. The flowers are arranged in heads of up to fifty, 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) wide. The floral tube is 2.5–5 mm (0.098–0.197 in) long, 0.8–1.5 mm (0.031–0.059 in) wide and woolly hairy, the sepals 0.7–1.0 mm (0.028–0.039 in) long and densely woolly-hairy, and the petals 0.5–0.6 mm (0.020–0.024 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to November, and the fruit is 2.0–2.4 mm (0.079–0.094 in) long.
