C'est une liane vivace, grimpante aux vigoureuses tiges ramifiées, aux feuilles caduques opposées, imparipennées (5 à 9 folioles dont
une terminale), aux fleurs blanc-verdâtre odorantes, le calice est pétaloïde (ressemble à des pétales). Les étamines et les carpelles sont insérés en spirale et l'androcée est polystémone à déhiscence introrse. Les fruits sont des akènes à arêtes plumeuses, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont surmontés d'un appendice soyeux et persistant longuement sur la plante lui donnant un aspect caractéristique en hiver.
