Synaphea endothrix is an erect, clumped shrub with stems up to 30 cm (12 in) and covered with soft hairs when young, later glabrous. The leaves are pinnatipartite and wavy, 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) long and 60–110 mm (2.4–4.3 in) wide on a petiole 15–60 mm (0.59–2.36 in) long, the end lobes lance-shaped to triangular 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) wide and sharply pointed. The flowers are yellow and borne in openly spaced spikes 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) long on a peduncle 40–90 mm (1.6–3.5 in) long. The perianth is moderately open, the upper tepal 5.5–6.0 mm (0.22–0.24 in) long and 2.2–2.7 mm (0.087–0.106 in) wide, the lower tepal 4.2–4.3 mm (0.17–0.17 in) long. The stigma is broadly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base with a shallow notch at the end, 0.9–1.2 mm (0.035–0.047 in) long and 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) wide. Flowering occurs in August and September and the fruit is egg-shaped with a thick neck, 7 mm (0.28 in) long and hairy.
