Cephalanthera longibracteata is a perennial herb inhabiting deciduous tree forests, with stems measuring 30-50cm in height. Oval-like lanceolate-shape, 6-8 in number leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, each 10-15cm in length. It has short white hair-like swellings on the stem's ridges, the leaf's back surfaces, margins, inflorescences, and ovaries, which characterizes this species compared to the close species. C. erecta. Shoot apexes make several approximately one-centimeter-in-length white flowers, which bloom upwards half-open.
