Hovea acutifolia is a small, upright shrub with blue to purple pea flowers, dark green leaves, and rusty new growth. It belongs to the Fabaceae family and can reach up to 4 meters in height. The branches are covered in a mix of crinkled, wavy, or straight grey to rusty hairs. The leaves are narrow-elliptic with slightly turned under margins and grow up to 7 cm long and 12 mm wide. The flowers, which bloom from late winter to early spring, are borne in the leaf axils and have a blue to purple color. The fruit is a pod covered in sparse hairs. This plant is found in Queensland and New South Wales, specifically in damp, protected rainforest margins. It was first described in 1832 and its name, acutifolia, refers to its acute leaves.
