A loosely branched, soft-wooded shrub, branches long, slender, thinly grey-woolly, leafy becoming pedunculoid and distantly bracteate below the inflorescence. Leaves mostly 8-16 x 8-10 mm, orbicular to broadly ovate abruptly narrowed to a broad petiole-like ear-clasping base, mar­gins markedly crisped-undulate, both sur­faces grey-woolly. Heads homogamous, broadly campanulate, c. 5—8 x 6—10 mm (—14 mm when fully radiating), few to many in loose terminal corymbose panicles. Involucral bracts in c. 6 series, graded, loosely imbricate, outer sometimes palest brown, inner exceeding the flowers, backs loosely woolly above stereome, radiating, tips acute or subacute, somewhat crisped, opaque milk-white, sometimes suffused with rose. Receptacle with fimbrils exceed­ing ovaries. Flowers 12—39, yellow. Achenes 0,75 mm, barrel-shaped, glabrous. Pappus bristless many, scabrid, about equalling corolla, bases cohering strongly by patent cilia. Fig. 40: 3.
