Araujia consists of evergreen climbing shrubs characterized by their twisting stems rich in white latex. The leaves are simple and arranged in pairs, while the flowers are fragrant and salver-shaped, growing in umbels at the leaf axils. These flowers give way to large, inflated fruits that encase silky-tufted seeds.

Araujia sericifera is a vigorous, climbing evergreen that twines as it grows. Its leaves are elongated, measuring around 10 cm in length. From late summer through autumn, it produces clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers that are either white or pale pink and emit a noticeable fragrance. The plant's sticky pollen clumps can ensnare visiting moths, which contributes to its common designation.
