Erect, monopodial, annual herb, 0.5-0.8 m tall. Stems herbaceous, purple-blotched, not branched at base, simple or slightly dichotomously branched higher up; branches ascending to erect, not sprouting from nodes. Leaves 40-120 x 25-50 mm, 2-pinnate, coriaceous; ultimate leaflet segments linear-oblong, 3-10x<0.5mm, laminate to subterete, concolorous, green, margins entire, venation visible or obscure. Petioles 15-40 mm long, glabrous, purple-blotched. Umbels with peduncle short to long, 15-60 mm long; involucral bracts 4 to 6, lanceolate, coriaceous, acuminate, margins membranous, glabrous; rays (6)10 to 18, 15-35 mm long, scabrid; involucel bracts 4 to 6, linear to lanceolate, coriaceous, acuminate, margins membranous, glabrous; raylets 6 to 14, 4-8 mm long, scabrid. Flowers with petals 0.8-1.0 mm x 0.6-1.0 mm, deeply emarginate, papillose; ovary scabrid; styles usually lengthening as fruit matures, 0.7-1.4 mm long, becoming reflexed and extending well beyond base of stylopodium. Fruit 4.0-6.0 x 3 mm, elliptic in lateral view, base obtuse; mericarps homomorphic; median and lateral ribs as well developed as marginal ribs, prominent, cartilaginous, dorsal surface with fibrous ridges, glabrous; marginal ribs parallel to very slightly concave in lateral view.

Dasispermum grandicarpum is distinguished from all other species by the larger and more erect habit, the purple-blotched stems, and the much larger fruit, >3.9 mm long (<2.5 mm long in the other species). It shares the fibrous ridges of the fruit ribs with D. humile and D. tenue but also differs in the finely divided, subterete ultimate leaflet segments, the presence of both involucral and involucel bracts, and the row of square cells external to the vittae.

Where it was collected in fynbos vegetation that had burnt the previous year. No plants could be located in subsequent searches by Mr H. Lutzeyer, suggesting that the species may be a short-lived fireweed. From: Downie, SR; Magee, AR; Tilney, PM; Van Wyk, B-E. 2010.
