Leaves suberect-patent, often somewhat recurved apically, linear, (0.5-)1-1.5(-2) cm long and 0.5-1 mm wide, mucronate, quite smooth and glabrous on upper side. Corymbophore 3-5(-8) cm long and 1-1.5 mm in diameter, woolly. Corymb 1-2 cm wide. Peduncles about 5 mm long, densely woolly. Capitula 6-8-flowered. Involucral bracts 20-25. Outer bracts elliptic-obovate, 3-3.5 mm long and 1-1.5 mm wide, light brown with a browner tip, acute-obtuse, outside and margins except apex sericeous-woolly with white hairs. Middle bracts stipitate; claw narrowly elliptic-narrowly obovate, 2.5-3 mm long and c. 1 mm wide, light brown-light green, outside (sparsely) and margins woolly; lamina transversely broadly elliptic, (1-)1.5 mm long and 1.5-2 mm wide, white, opaque, truncate-somewhat emarginate. Inner bracts stipitate; claw narrowly obovate, 3.5-4(-4.5) mm long and c. 1 mm wide above, light brown-light green, outside glabrous or sparsely woolly, margins densely woolly; lamina transversely broadly elliptic, c. 1 mm long and 2-2.5 mm wide, white, opaque, (truncate-)premorse. Female floret 1. Corolla 2.5 mm long, often purple in the middle. Pappus bristles c. 10, 0.4-0.6 mm long, otherwise as in male florets. Achene narrowly7 oblong-narrowly elliptic, 1.6-2 mm long and c. 0.5 mm wide, dark brown, densely white-villous. Male florets 5-7. Corolla 3.1-3.4 mm long, often purple in the middle.
