Indian Madder is a perennial climbing herb that can grow to 1.5 m in height. The evergreen leaves are 5-10 cm long and 2-3 cm broad, produced in whorls of 4-7 stars around the central stem. Leaves are ovate-heart shaped, entire, pointed, and heart-shaped at the base, rarely rounded, 3-9 palmately veined, and upper surface mostly hairless and rough. The roots can be over a meter long, up to 12 mm thick.  The plant's roots contain an organic compound called Alizarin that gives its red color to a textile dye known as Rose madder.
