A shrub or small tree. It can be 10 m high. It can have many stems. The leaves are sticky and are 3-10 cm long. They are narrow with wavy edges. A variety with purple leaves also occurs. The flowers are greenish. Male and female flowers occur on separate plants. The fruit are hops 18 mm long and with wings. They occur in clusters at the ends of branches. They can be red or white. Many different kinds or subspecies of this plant occur. The seed is edible.
