Gurania spinulosa is a common species, widespread throughout South America, and weedy in its habits. The flowers are paler orange, with green-yellow sepal tips, and a narrower opening of the sepals in general. The fruits are wide, yellow-green-streaky, and shiny. The leaves are large, with up to seven lobes, and covered with short rough hairs, as are the thick stems. This species is also pollinated primarily by butterflies.
