Mitrephora are a genus of trees that are often tall. They have leathery leaves. They have 3 rounded sepals. Their flowers have 6 petals arranged in two whorls. The edges of the petals in each whorl touch one another. The exterior petals are oval with somewhat conspicuous venation. The interior petals have a basal claw with a vaulted blade.

Within the ovaries the numerous ovules are positioned axially in two rows. Its elongated styles are grooved on the inside.[2]
