Inga jimenezii is a small tree with dense rust-red, fluffy hairy, slightly cork-black twigs. The bare leaves are usually pinnate in two pairs, the leaflets are elliptical to slightly ovate, slightly bristly on the upper side and very hairy on the lower side. The outermost pair of leaflets is 19 to 22 centimeters long and 7 to 10.5 centimeters wide, the innermost 4.5 to 9 centimeters long and 2.1 to 5 centimeters wide.
The leaf hachis is 4.4 to 5.5 inches long and, like the petiole, winged. There are stalked glands between each pair of leaflets. The lanceolate stipules are 1.5 to 2 millimeters long and permanent.
The inflorescences are dense spikes , they arise from the leaf axils and stand individually. The shaft is 2.5 to 4.2 inches long and very hairy, the rachis 2.5 to 4 inches long. The flowers are sessile and up to 2 inches long. The flat fruits are 13 to 16 centimeters long, 2.5 to 3.5 centimeters wide and have dense rust-red hairs.
