Schisandra pubinervis is a climbing plant with woody vines. The leaf-bearing branches are elongated. The leaves are papery, elliptical to ovate, 5–11 centimetres (2.0–4.3 in) long, and 3–7 centimetres (1.2–2.8 in) wide. The leaf stems are 1–4 centimetres (0.39–1.57 in) long. The flowers are solitary. The stems of male inflorescences are 2.8–5.2 centimetres (1.1–2.0 in) long, and the stems of female inflorescences are 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) long. The male flowers have seven to eight tepals, and the female flowers have eight to ten tepals. The tepals are yellow. The largest tepals are 6.5–10 millimetres (0.26–0.39 in) long, and 6.5–9 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in) wide. The male flowers have fourteen to nineteen stamens, and the female flowers have thirty-six to fifty carpels. The plant flowers from June to July. The fruit stems are 4–10 centimetres (1.6–3.9 in) long. The plant fruits from July to August. The seeds are smooth or finely wrinkled. Schisandra pubinervis resembles Schisandra sphenanthera.
