Textures of flower surfaces may be glabrous and shiny, to matte, to finely haired, and some being quite hairy. One of the two clones of Hoya mindorensis Schltr., from the Philippines, comes very close to being a true red. Blue, purples, and violets do not appear to be represented in the genus Hoya.
The bark is grey and rough and flaky. The leaf blades are approximately in length and wide with curving lateral veins curving. The leaves are alternate and discolorous and glabrous throughout. The blades are narrowly to broadly elliptic in shape with an obtuse to attenuate base obtuse and an obtuse apex obtuse.
It may be confused with the similar P. gaguedi. It can be distinguished by the larger, solitary inflorescences, and the completely glabrous mature leaves. According to Hyde et al. P. welwitschii is easy to differentiate from the other Protea species in southern tropical Africa, by dint of its velvety-haired young leaves.
The shrub typically grows to a height of . It is glabrous branchlets has caducous stipules and can have minute hairs often found within the phyllode axils. The green to green phyllodes have a linear to oblanceolate shape and are straight to incurved. The phyllodes have a length of and a width of .
There are 5 narrow triangular sepals which are long. The petals are long and joined at their lower end to form a short tube so that the flowers resemble those in the genus Myoporum. The petal tube is white or cream-coloured and glabrous. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed within the tube.
The individual flower stalks are long, hairless, reddening with age. The sepals and petals are green and smooth green glabrous or with scattered hairs in bud. The styles are red and long. Flowers are a red and greenish-yellow and appear in pendant axillary clusters in leaf axils from spring to early summer.
