Baccharis sergiloides is a shrub producing many erect, branching stems approaching 2 m (6 ft) in maximum height.[2]
The leaves are mostly oval shape and up to about 3 centimetres (1.2 in) long. The leaves generally fall by the time the plant blooms.[2]
The shrub is dioecious, with male and female plants producing flower heads of different types. The head is enclosed in a layer of phyllaries which are glandular and sticky.[2]
The fruit is a ribbed achene with a pappus a few millimeters long.[2]
