Leaves linear to oblanceolate or spathulate, mostly 1.5–4 cm long and 2–5 mm wide, acuminate, mucronate, both surfaces glandular-scabrous, often cobwebbed, usually more densely above, margins sometimes undulate. Capitula hemispherical to broad-campanulate, 10–20 mm diam.; involucral bracts more or less linear, to 6 mm long, unequal, densely glandular-hairy; outer bracts lacking scarious apices; inner bracts with subulate, laciniate-ciliate, scarious apices. Florets bright yellow. Cypselas 1.5–3 mm long, with sparse to moderately dense glandular hairs towards apex; pappus bristles 10–24, 3–5 mm long. Flowers mainly spring (also sporadically throughout the year depending upon rain).
