This vine possesses an extremely curled and twisted stalk to aid in climbing up surfaces. The leaves that extend from the sides of the twisted stalk are also densely curled, and when unfurled, the leaves are as large as a grown man's hand. They are round near the base and pointed at the tips. The flowers that grow from this vine sprout in triplets. Each petal is fused and curled outward to give the flower a strong resemblance to a bell. The filaments of this flower are long and slender and extend far past the curled petals.
