Herbaceous perennial or subshrub, branched from the base, stock with vegetative buds or small leaf tufts, stems up to 1 m tall, but often only ±500 mm, woody, brittle, glandular-setose, uppermost parts sometimes white-cobwebby as well, closely leafy. Leaves mostly 20-50 x 10-20 mm, slightly smaller on the inflorescence branches, mostly oblong-ovate often becoming elliptic-lanceolate to lanceolate on the inflorescence branches, obtuse to acute, mucronate, base broad, more or less cordate-clasping, both surfaces and margins glandular-setose, margins and sometimes the midline above sometimes woolly as well, young leaves sometimes cobwebby all over. Heads heterogamous, 10-12(-14) mm long, about double that across the radiating bracts, depressed-globose, solitary at the tips of long leafy branchlets corymbosely arranged. Involucral bracts in ±9 series, graded, imbricate, inner much exceeding the flowers, glossy, yellow often overlaid pale brown outside. Receptacle shortly honeycombed or nearly smooth. Flowers ±480-1100, 65-160 female, 400-950 homogamous. Achenes 1 mm long, glabrous. Pappus bristles many, equalling the corolla, tips barbellate, shaft scabrid, base with patent cilia cohering or not.
