Heads ligulate, solitary at ends of branches or few in lax corymbs. Involucral bracts in a few rows, up to 15 mm long at fruiting, glabrous or white-woolly, densely glandular-setose. Flowers: pale yellow; Sep.-Nov. Fruit with cypsela cylindrical becoming fusiform, ribbed, with long beak, brown to orange red, 7-10 mm long, including 1.5-4.0 mm long beak. Pappus of many barbellate bristles.
A perennial herb up to 50 cm tall, flowering stems scape-like, nearly nude, sparsely clothed in white-woolly hairs and frequently also with long setae, often gland-tipped. Leaves mostly radical from a thick woody rootstock, up to 20 x 3 cm, oblong to lanceolate, narrowed to the base, sparsely setose, margins remotely denticulate, irregularly and coarsely toothed or runcinate-pinnatifid. Heads solitary or few in a very open corymb. Involucral bracts: inner up to 15 mm long in the fruiting head, white-woolly and densely glandular-setose, outer similar but only 6-8 mm long. Flowers pale yellow. Achenes subterete, long-beaked, rough with minute, upward-pointing projections, bright orange-red at maturity.
Perennial herb, up to 500 mm high, with milky sap. Leaves mostly radical in a basal rosette, oblong to lanceolate, narrowed to base, margins remotely denticulate, irregularly and coarsely toothed or runcinate-pinnatifid. Capitula ligulate, solitary or few together in an open corymb, long pedunculate; involucre white-woolly and densely glandular, at least 10 mm long at flowering. Florets pale yellow, 5-toothed. Flowering time Oct.-Dec. Pappus of many barbellate bristles. Cypselae subterete, rough, with long beak.
Leaves numerous, mostly radical in a rosette, up to c. 10 x 1.5 cm., exceptionally to c. 15 x 3 cm., linear-oblanceolate to oblanceolate, rounded to acute mucronate at the apices and narrowly tapering below, sinuate denticulate to ± recurved-dentate, sometimes coarsely toothed, glabrous to ± densely hispid or glandular-setose; upper leaves, when present, usually bract-like and sessile.
Phyllaries few-seriate, glabrous or pubescent and ± densely glandular-setose outside, the setae sometimes black and up to c. 1.5 mm. long, the midribs swelling at the base; the outer phyllaries 2–6 x 0.5–1 mm., linear, loosely arranged and extending briefly onto the capitulum stalk; the inner phyllaries up to c. 13 mm. long becoming linear-lanceolate.
