Cryptandra dielsii is a spreading, intricately branched shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–70 cm (12–28 in) high, its young stems densely hairy. The leaves are linear to narrowly oblong, 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long and 0.6–0.8 mm (0.024–0.031 in) wide, on a petiole bout 0.2 mm (0.0079 in) long with stipules 1.7–2.3 mm (0.067–0.091 in) long at the base. The edges of the leaves are turned down or rolled under, concealing the lower surface and there is a fine point 0.1–0.3 mm (0.0039–0.0118 in) long on the tip. The flowers are white, borne in dense clusters of 6 to 9, 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) in diameter, surrounded by large involucral bracts, the individual flowers not distinct. The floral tube is 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long and densely hairy, the sepals 0.7–1.3 mm (0.028–0.051 in) long and densely hairy. Flowering occurs from July to September.
