Inulanthera leucoclada is a distinctive species with virgate, densely whitish woolly stems and ovate, closely serrate leaves without axillary leaf tufts. The relatively large heads, 7-10 mm long, contain 60 to 70 florets each. The pappus is formed by either horn-like extensions of the ribs or membranous scales. Inulanthera leucoclada is unique in the genus in its single-stemmed habit and reseeding fire survival strategy (resprouting in the other species of Inulanthera). These two fire survival strategies are common in fire-prone vegetation, particularly fynbos. Herbarium field notes on several collections of I. leucoclada noted it as being locally frequent but we were unable to relocate the species in several localities amongst older vegetation, presumably because the species is a relatively short-lived member of early successional stages after fire.
