Conospermum wycherleyi is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5–1.5 m (4 ft 11 in – 4 ft 11 in). Its leaves are spoon-shaped to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 20–130 mm (0.79–5.12 in) long, 3–21 mm (0.12–0.83 in) wide and arranged at the base of the flowers. The flowers are borne in spike-like panicles on a silky, velvety hairy peduncle 190–570 mm (7.5–22.4 in) long with dark brown bracteoles 3.0–8.5 mm (0.12–0.33 in) long, 2.4–6 mm (0.094–0.236 in) wide and densely hairy. The flowers are white and woolly, forming a tube 2.0–5.5 mm (0.079–0.217 in) long, the upper lip egg-shaped, 2.25–3.5 mm (0.089–0.138 in) long and 1.5–2.5 mm (0.059–0.098 in) wide, the lower lip with narrowly oblong lobes 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long and 0.2–0.3 mm (0.0079–0.0118 in) wide and covered with shaggy, silky hairs. Flowering time depends on subspecies, and the fruit is a hairy nut about 3.0–3.2 mm (0.12–0.13 in) long and 2.50–2.75 mm (0.098–0.108 in) wide with cream-coloured hairs, woolly hairs.
