The spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 3 metres (2 to 10 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple leaves with a flat, linear and undissected blade that are 40 to 105 millimetres (2 to 4 in) in length and 1 to 3 mm (0.04 to 0.12 in) wide. It blooms from August to October and produces a regular inflorescence with cream to yellow flowers. A wrinkled, oblong and glabrous fruit will be formed later.

Grevillea eremophila grows on sandplains and heathlands among medium and low trees in gravelly or sandy soils. It is found in an area south west of Grealdton between Three Springs and Arrowsmith.[2]
