Polyscias racemosa is a small tree growing to 25 ft (7.6 m) tall, with a straight trunk, spreading branches, and smooth, grey bark.
Like many members of Polyscias, it is sparingly branched and thick-stemmed, with large imparipinnate leaves, but not as extreme in these characteristics as is Polyscias nodosa.

Its leaves are pinnate, 12 in (30 cm) long, with oval leaflets, each of which is over 3 inches (7.6 cm) long.
These trees are dry season deciduous, dropping most of their leaves during their summer blooming season.
Its small, pale yellow flowers hang in long, rope-like strands.
The inflorescence is racemose in form, with up to 250 flowers.
