It is an erect shrub with overlapping, bluish, sharply-pointed, egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with transparent edges, and white, tube-shaped flowers, the petals with lobes long and wide. ''Epacris marginata'' was first formally described in 1952 by Ronald Melville in the '' Kew Bulletin'' from specimens collected by Janet Somerville on the "slopes of Brown Mountain, Tasman Peninsula" in 1946.
