Atractocarpus fitzalanii grows as a woody shrub or small tree some 3–10 m (9.8–32.8 ft) in height.
The trunk is covered by smooth grey bark.
The large glossy dark green leaves are obovate to oval-shaped and range from 10–18 cm (3.9–7.1 in) long by 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) wide.
The yellowish veins and midrib are prominent on the leaf.
The new growth is a bright lime green in colour.
The small (2-2.5 cm or 1 inch) white fragrant flowers appear from September to November, occur singly and have five lanceolate petals around a tube.
The round- or oval-shaped fruit is 3–4 cm in diameter and ripens in April to June.
The fragrance of the flowers resembles that of the common gardenia, and fruit can be eaten fresh.
