Large-leaved lime exhibits a lush foliage with leaves that have a heart-shaped base, pointed tips, and are medium to dark green on top and lighter green beneath, featuring distinctive tufts of white hairs along the veins. These leaves usually span about 5 inches (13 cm) long. Clusters of creamy yellow flowers bloom on large-leaved lime, later producing small, gray, ribbed nutlets. The bark on younger specimens presents as smooth and gray, evolving into a more fissured texture with age.
