Parsonsia eucalyptophylla is a tall woody climber; the young plants climb by clinging roots, and the older plants using twining stems.[2] It has watery rather than milky sap. The yellow flowers appear from spring to autumn.[2] The leaves are linear to lanceolate and 8–24 cm long and 0.5–2 cm wide, with lower surface paler than the upper.[2]
