Cephalotus follicularis is a small herb. The insectivorous leaves are small, green, and have the appearance of moccasins, forming the 'pitcher' of the common name. Other leaves on the plant are simple with an entire leaf blade. The foliage is a basal arrangement that is closely arranged with outward facing adapted leaf blades. The plant occurs in southern coastal districts of the Southwest botanical province in Australia; recorded in the Warren (biogeographic region), southern Jarrah Forest, and the Esperance Plains. Its habitat is on moist peaty sands found in swamps or along creeks and streams, but it is tolerant of less damp situations. Its population in the wild has been reduced by habitat destruction and overcollecting; it is therefore classified as Vulnerable species.
