Lagenophora montana

Roots fibrous, produced at intervals from slender spreading rhizomes (to c. 0.5 mm diam. when dry). Leaves loosely rosetted, sometimes borne on lower (up to c. 10 cm) stem and grading into bracts; leaves up to c. 50–70 mm long and c. 15 mm wide (but often smaller), obtuse to broadly acute, hirsute to almost glabrous, almost entire to shallowly dentate with 2–4 pairs of teeth, the teeth and apex often scarcely apiculate. Scape 9–16(–25) cm long, bearing a few small narrow bracts to c. 10 mm long, almost glabrous except for appressed hairs below the capitulum and sometimes a few spreading hairs elsewhere; capitulum c. 3–5 mm wide; involucral bracts mostly narrowly oblong, to 3 mm long, obtuse to sub-acute. Ray florets ca. 68, ligules 2.8–3.8 mm long, white, mauve or purplish. Disc florets c. 20, yellow. Cypselas oblanceolate, c. 2–3.5 mm long and 0.8–1 mm wide, brown or purplish with paler margins; beak to c. 0.5 mm long. Flowers mostly summer.
