Cochlospermum vitifolium is a tree that can reach up to 17m in height and 70cm in diameter at breast height. Its leaves are alternate, 10 to 30 cm wide, heart-shaped at the base, deep and palmately 5-lobed, lobes acuminate, crenate-serrate, glabrous above, puberulent below. The trunk is straight with smooth bark with ascending branches, quite thick and ungainly in appearance. The inflorescences are presented in clusters or panicles, which measure about 15 cm long and 45 cm wide; growing from the upper armpits. Its flowers have 4 or 5 petals and 4 or 5 sepals, yellow with reddish lines and spots and deep incisions; They have a diameter of 7.5 to 10 cm. They look a lot like simple roses (CONABIO, n.d.).
