Grey-woolly herb, probably perennial, branches 5 — 150 mm long, decumbent, rooting in lowermost part, woolly above, closely leafy. Leaves mostly 10—30 x 3—10 mm, diminishing upwards, spathulate, apex obtuse to subacute, apiculate, base much narrowed, both surfaces grey woolly-felted. Heads heterogamous, campanulate, c. 3 x 2 mm, several in small glomerules 5 — 10 mm across, solitary or subcorymbosely arranged at the branch tips, surrounded by reduced leaves. Involucral bracts in 3 series, backs woolly, outermost short, inner subequal, shaft purple-red, tips broadly ovate to subrotund, very obtuse, opaque white, exceeding flowers, radiating. Receptacle nearly smooth. Flowers c. 11 — 13, 1—2 ("female"), 9—11 ("bisexual"), yellow, tipped red. Achenes dimorphic, of ("female") flowers 0,75 mm long, glabrous, of ("bisexual") flowers 0,5 mm long, with duplex hairs, probably not myxo genie. Pappus bristles many, equalling corolla, tips subplumose, bases with patent cilia, coherÂing lightly. Fig. 5: 3. Herba griseo-lanata, verosimiliter per-ennis; rami 50 —150 mm longi, decumbentes, inferne radicantes, superne lanati, crebre foliati. Folia plerumque 10 —30 x 3 —10 mm, sursum decrescentia, spatulata, apice obtuso vel subacuto apiculato, basi multo angustata, utrinque griseo-lanato-pannosa. Capitula heterogama, campanulata, c. 3 x 2 mm, pluria in glomerulos parvos 5—10 mm diam. Solitarios vel subcorymbose ad ramulorum apices disposita, foliis circumcincta. Invo-lucri bracteae 3-seriatae, dorso lanatae, exteriores breves, interiores subaequales, inferne rubro-purpureae, apicibus late ovatis vel subrotundis obtusissimis opacis albis flores superantibus radiantibus. Receptacu-lum fere laeve. Flores 11 —13, 1 —2 feminei, 9—11 hermaphroditi, flavi rubro-apiculati. Achaenia dimorpha, florum femineorum 0,75 mm longa glabra, hermaphroditorum 0,5 mm longa pilis duplicibus verosimiliter haud myxogenis induta. Pappi setae nume-rosae, corollam aequantes, apicibus subplu-mosis, basi pilis patentibus leviter inter se cohaerentibus.
