Nolana urubambae is a woody, weakly branching, prostrate and 10 to 15 m high plant. Near the base, the bark peels off like paper, the stems are slightly hairy, the older stems are also densely tomentose and hairy towards the tip and colored blue. The root is an 8 to 12 cm long beet root. The slightly fleshy leaves have petioles 2 to 4 mm long , the leaf blade is 5 to 12 mm long and 1.5 to 4.5 mm wide and hairless.
The flowers are on stems up to 4 mm long . The calyx is 6 mm long, slightly hairy, the broadly lanceolate calyx lobes become leathery during flowering. The crown is light blue with dark blue lines, slightly funnel-shaped and hardly longer than the calyx. The five stamens are of unequal length and measure between 6 and 8 mm. Just like the almost spherical scar, they are dull blue. The stylus stands out over the crown.
