Information
An erect bushy suffrutex, with sterns 1–2.5 m. tall from a woody rootstock. Stems herbaceous becoming woody below, leafy, branching above, puberulous, tomentellous on young growth, glabrescent below; indumentum of short-stalked asymmetric T-shaped hairs, the ± excentric terminal cell somewhat flattened and distorted. Leaves opposite; petiole to c. 4 cm. long; lamina mostly 4–20 x 1.5–9 cm., lanceolate, or the upper leaves somewhat ovate, apex tapering-acute, base rounded to broadly cuneate, margins serrate to serrate-dentate with callose-tipped teeth, upper surface sparsely puberulous to glabrescent, lower surface more densely puberulous to tomentellous, the hairs excentric T-shaped or flagelliform. Capitula small, numerous, at first in densely subglobose clusters at the ends of branches, becoming laxly corymbiform cymose; capitula stalks 0–5 mm. long. Involucres 4–7 x 3–6 mm., becoming spreading cyathiform-campanulate. Phyllaries appressed-imbricate, membranous-scarious with ± broad subhyaline margins, minutely pectinate-ciliate about the apex, puberulous soon glabrescent, sparsely glandular, from c. 1 mm. long outside to c. 6 mm. long inside, ovate-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, ± abruptly narrowed to tapering-obtuse mucronate at the apex. Corollas mauve or purplish, 4–7 mm. long, funnel-shaped, sparsely glandular otherwise glabrous. Achenes pale-brown, 1–1.8 mm. long, narrowly obovoid-oblong, with 4–5 low broad ribs, or 7–8-ribbed with the development of secondary ribs, ribs separated by narrower dark-brown, gland-filled grooves, achenes rounded above with a shallow apical depression, glabrous; pappus of few, very caducous, barbellate setae to c. 2 mm. long.
Habitat
Submontane tall grassland, usually on rocky outcrops and in evergreen forest margins at higher altitudes, in long grass in high-rainfall wooded grassland, often in riverine vegetation at lower altitudes.
