Branches thick, closely leafy towards the ends, lower down clothed with dark remains of withered leaves, becoming nude and marked with leaf-scars; cortex brown or blackish. Leaves erecto-patent, becoming spreading and reflexed with age, linear-oblanceolate, widest towards the apex, some entire but most shortly 2-3-lobed above the middle or pinnatifid near the apex, 1.5-7 cm long, 3-5 mm wide, thickish and coriaceous, rugose in the dried state, bright green, obtuse, adaxially finely impressed-veined, abaxially faintly midribbed. Peduncles axillary in the uppermost leaf-axils, few, erect, 2.5-6 cm long, 0.7-1 mm thick, striate. Involucre hemispherical-cupshaped, 8-10 mm wide, 4-5 mm high. Involucral bracts uniseriate, 9-13, connate to the middle or up to 2/3, with 1-3 distinct resiniferous veins; the free lobes deltoid-narrowly triangular, 1.5-3 mm long, 0.6-2 mm wide, acute, puberulous-tipped. Receptacle convex, alveolate. Ray-florets about equalling the involucral bracts in number. Tube 1-1.5 mm long, cylindrical. Lamina oblong-oblanceolate, 6-8 mm long, 2-3 mm wide, 4-nerved. Style terete with swollen base; style branches 0.8-1 mm long, obtuse. Disc-florets c. 25. Corolla 3-3.6 mm long. Tube 1-1.3 mm long. Limb campanulate, 2-2.3 mm long; lobes narrowly triangular, c. 1 mm long. Anthers 1.2-1.4 mm long incl. the ovate obtuse appendage. Style terete with swollen base; style branches 0.4-0.8 mm long with convex tips. Pappus bristles numerous, 1.5-2 mm long, white, ± erect. Achenes narrowly oblong-oblanceolate-oblong-obovate, slightly curved, 3-4 mm long, 1-2 mm wide, glabrous, light-dark brown, with 5-7 prominent ribs.
