Sannantha brachypoda is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 4 m (13 ft) and has grey, scaly to fibrous bark. It leaves are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 5.5–9.0 mm (0.22–0.35 in) long and 1.8–2.8 mm (0.071–0.110 in) wide on a petiole 0.7–1.3 mm (0.028–0.051 in) long. The flowers are up to 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter and arranged in leaf axils in groups of 3 on a peduncle 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) long. Each flower is on a pedicel 1.2–2.5 mm (0.047–0.098 in) long with 2 bracts at the base, but that fall off as the flowers develop. The floral tube is 1.5–1.8 mm (0.059–0.071 in) long, the sepal lobes 0.7 mm (0.028 in) long. The petals are white, 2.2–2.5 mm (0.087–0.098 in) long and 1.8–2.5 mm (0.071–0.098 in) wide and there are usually 9 to 12 stamens.
