[td]Plants in the genus ''Calothamnus'' are medium to tall shrubs, sometimes low-growing ground covers. The leaves are linear or narrow lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, usually [[wikt:glabrous|glabrous]] and have distinct oil glands. The flowers are in small groups or dense spikes on leafless, older stems or between the leaves on younger ones. The [[sepal]]s are fused to form a bell-shaped cup which is often immersed in the branch and there are four or five [[petal]]s which usually fall off after the flower has opened. There are many stamens, joined for a large proportion of their length into four or five "claws". In some species the upper two claws are fused together and the lower ones are shorter. The stamens are brightly coloured, crimson to a deep purple or rarely yellow. The fruit is a woody [[Capsule (botany)|capsule]].<ref name=Hawkeswood>{{cite journal|last1=Hawkeswood|first1=Trevor J.|title=Nine new species of Calothamnus Labill.
