Shrubs erect, branching, inodorous, 1–2 m; bark of older branches shreddy; twigs ± chaffy, densely stiff-hairy. Leaves: petiole 2–4 mm, (hairy); blade green, elliptic to oblong-obovate, 1.5–4 cm, base cuneate, margins ciliate, apex acute to subacute, with prominently glandular-mucronate tip ca. 1 mm, abaxial surface densely pilose, with few, narrowly oblong, lacerate or cleft, multicellular scales on midvein, adaxial surface strigose-hirsute or pilose.

Discussion
Menziesia pilosa is a southern and central Appalachian endemic occurring from southern Pennsylvania to northern Georgia. Although it can be locally common at high elevations in the southern Blue Ridge, it is of conservation concern in much of its range, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
