Gynura aurantiaca is an herb up to 30 cm (1 foot) tall, the stems sometimes growing straight up but other times reclining against other objects. Leaves, stems, and bracts are dark green, covered with soft purple hairs that impart a velvety feeling to the plant. One plant can produce 1-5 flower heads, each on its own flower stalk. The flowers have a rather strong odour. Each head contains several yellow, orange, or red disc flowers but no ray flowers.
