Remijia ulei is characterized by its notably robust habit, with quite stout hollow stems and large leaf blades, stipules, inflorescences, and capsules, robust flowers, and verticillate leaves that are subsessile or shortly petiolate (petioles to ca. 1 cm long) and pubescent on the lower surface with short, mostly appressed trichomes. It is similar to Remijia pacimonica, Remijia chelamophylla, and Remijia macrophylla, which all have spreading pubescence on the leaf undersides. Andersson reported Remijia ulei also from Ecuador, at ca. 1000 m in the foothills of the Andes, but these plants are here included in Remijia chelamophylla which is commonly collected in that area and habitat. Remijia ulei is also similar to some species of Pentagonia, which can be recognized by their striate leaf surface.
