Cola greenwayi is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree growing to around Шаблон:Convert, either monoecious or dioecious. The smaller branches and twigs are brown and densely hairy at first.

The four to five carpels turn yellowish-orange when ripe, making a sub-globose fruit, hairy at first, and later with a thin, brittle rind. It usually contains one or two seeds.[1][4]
