Its leaves are entire, oblong-elliptic to linear, and are 1.5 to 6 cm long and 3 to 15 mm in width. The flowers range in colour from a dull to golden yellow and have a red to orange-red style. They are most prolific between early winter and early summer.

'Brisbane Ranges form'
'Gippsland form'
'Holey Plains form'

The form described as Grevillea chrysophaea var. canescens H.B.Will. is not currently recognised as a separate variety. It is procumbent and compact and has smaller flowers but produces them in greater numbers.The type specimen was collected at Sperm Whale Head.

The variant previously known as Grevillea sp. aff. chrysophaea or Grevillea aff. chrysophaea (Nowa Nowa) is currently regarded as a separate species, Grevillea celata Molyneux.
