It is a robust, shrubby twiner or scrambler that has mostly narrowly elliptic or narrowly egg-shaped leaves and white, cream-coloured or pale yellow flowers with mauve-red blotches that spread as the flowers age.

Billardiera versicolor is robust, shrubby twiner or scrambler with stems up to several metres long.

Flowering mainly occurs from September to December and the mature fruit is a green berry 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in) long containing many seeds.

[2][3][4][5] Billardiera versicolor was first formally described in 1857 by Friedrich Wilhelm Klatt in the journal Linnaea from an unpublished description by Ferdinand von Mueller.

[8] This species of Billardiera mainly grows in mallee, but also in woodland and scrub, and occurs in western New South Wales, in the western half of Victoria and on the Eyre Peninsula and in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
