Catclaw horsebrush has gray, pubescent stems with sharp spines. In spring, yellow-green flowers emerge from the leaf axils, followed by fruits bearing a dense, elongated, white pappus, (a characteristic feature of many members of the Aster family).
Catclaw horsebrush can be confused with Mojave cottonthorn due to their similar growth habits and semi-deciduous appearances. With catclaw horsebrush, flowers arise from the axils of the spines, whereas in Mojave cottonthorn, they occur at the ends of the stems.
