Isopogon inconspicuus is a shrub that typically grows to a height of, its branchlets covered with woolly, brownish to greyish hairs. The leaves are crowded, long and pinnate with cylindrical leaflets on a petiole up to long.

This isopogon was first formally described in 1855 by Carl Meissner in Hooker's Journal of Botany and Kew Garden Miscellany and given the name Petrophile inconspicua from specimens collected by James Drummond.[2] [3] In 1995, Donald Bruce Foreman changed the name to Isopogon inconspicuus in Flora of Australia.[4]
Isopogon inconspicuus grows in heath and shrubland on sandplains between Dandaragan and Eneabba.
