Cyanea stictophylla, of the Campanulaceae (bellflower) family, is a shrub or tree 0.6 to 8 m (2 to 20 ft) tall, sometimes covered with small, sharp projections. The alternate, stalked, oblong, shallowly lobed, toothed leaves are 20 to 38 cm (7.8 to 15 in) long and 4 to 8 cm (1.6 to 3.1 in) wide. Clusters of five or six flowers have main flowering stalks 1 to 4 cm (0.4 to 1.6 in) long; each flower with a stalk 0.7 to 2.2 cm (0.3 to 0.9 in) long. The hypanthium is topped with five calyx lobes 2 to 4 mm (0.1 to 0.2 in) long and 1 to 2 mm (0.04 to 0.1 in) wide. The yellowish-white or purple petals, 3.5 to 5 cm (1.4 to 2 in) long, are fused into an arched, five-lobed tube about 5 to 6 mm (0.2 in) wide. The spherical berries are orange.
