Florets yellow to orange; outer ones few (10–40), tube narrowly cylindric, 4.2–4.4 mm long, lobes ± 0.3 mm long, style 5–5.2 mm long; inner ones many, tube cylindric, 4.1–4.9 mm long, lobes 0.3–0.5 mm long, glandular, anthers 2.1 mm long, style 4.6–4.8 mm long.. Achenes ellipsoid, 1–1.5 mm long, glabrous; pappus yellowish, 4.5–5 mm long, tips subplumose.
