Faurea galpinii is a small tree that grows to 10 m (20 ft.) tall, but its trunks will vary depending on growing conditions. The leaves of F. galpinii are alternately lanceolate with wavy margins. When growing in the forest, the bark appears grey with smooth, concentric rings, although it can appear rough and dark under exposed conditions, and the variety Faurea gal pinii varies in size from 1 to 2 m (3 ft 3 in to 6 ft 7 in).
