Drosera cuneifolia is a perennial carnivorous plant. The basal rosette is loosely clumped and formed by quite broad, wedge-shaped leaves, 20–40 mm long and 10–15 mm wide. The leaves are greenish with 3–5 veins, and the lower leaf surface is almost smooth. Both marginal and discal tentacles are present. The dense marginal tentacles are longer while the rest are shorter, red and knob-ended. The plants have a few, fairly long roots. The flowering stalk is leafless, rarely branched and erect, originating from the centre of the rosette, 100–200 mm long and bears multiple pink to mauve flowers. The petals are 10–15 mm long. The styles are spoon-shaped. Flowering time: November to January. Black spindle-shaped seeds are formed in a capsule and released a few weeks after flowering.
