Dodonaea subglandulifera is an upright shrub 1–2 m (3 ft 3 in–6 ft 7 in) high with imparipinnate leaves 0.7–1.6 cm (0.28–0.63 in) long, leaflets linear, rounded at the apex, mostly entire or sometimes with a few teeth, sticky, glandular on the lower surface, smooth, and on a petiole 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long. The flowers are in groups of 2-3 borne in leaf axils on a pedicel 3.5–6.5 mm (0.14–0.26 in) long, sepals oval-shaped, 1.6–2.5 mm (0.063–0.098 in) long and falling off early. Flowering occurs from February to August and the fruit is a 3 or 4 winged capsule, elliptic to egg-shaped and with occasional hairs.[3][4]
