Yellow flowers are produced between August and November (late winter to late spring) in its native range.[1] The species was first formally described as Lachnothalamus tomentellus by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1863 in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from a type specimen collected near the mouth of the Murchison River.[2]
