A striking dimorphism exists between the male and the female moths of this species. The male moth typically has orange- to red-brown (ochreous red and dark brown) wings; each fore wing has a white comma-shaped (tornal) spot. It has marked plumose (short, bipectinate) antennae. The wingspan measures between 35 and 38 mm.
The twining stems feature scented, cup-shaped bisexual flowers, around 2 centimetres (0.79 in) in width, with five white, cream-coloured, violet or pale pink petals. The flowers are generally pollinated by moths (hence the name "moth plant"), butterflies and bees (entomophily), but they can self-pollinate. The flowering period extends from late ...
