This species is closely allied to G. hispida and takes its place on the Australian mainland, in Victoria and New South Wales. Chiefly it differs in the hairs on the stems and the midribs of the leaves being appressed, not spreading. The leaves are a trifle broader in relation to their length, elliptic-oblong to elliptic, obtuse at the apex, which is sharply contracted to an apiculate point.
