Perennial herb, stock woody, ±5-8 mm diam., flowering stems several from the crown, erect to ±200(-350) mm, loosely greyish-white woolly, leafy throughout. Radical leaves rosetted, spreading, 28-55 x 17-22 mm, elliptic or ovate, apex subacute to obtuse, base broad, clasping, upper surface with long coarse patent hairs, sometimes very lightly cobwebby as well, lower greyish-white felted; cauline leaves erect, imbricate, ±20-34 x 2-4(-4.5) mm at the middle of the stem, diminishing in size upwards, lanceolate-oblong to lanceolate, acute to acuminate, uppermost with a small scarious appendage, base half-clasping, very shortly decurrent, both surfaces loosely greyish-white woolly, upper sometimes glabrescent to reveal long coarse patent hairs. Heads homogamous, campanulate, 5-6 mm long, several in a subglobose compound head up to 25 mm across, base webbed with wool. Involucral bracts in ±6 series, subequal or slightly graded, about equalling the flowers, loosely imbricate, radiating, glossy, bright yellow, outer acute, tipped golden-brown, inner often acute, sometimes subacute or narrowly obtuse. Receptacle with fimbrils at least equalling the ovaries. Flowers 37-66. Achenes 0.75 mm long, barrel-shaped, obscurely ribbed, glabrous. Pappus bristles many, equalling corolla, scabrid, tips barbellate, bases cohering by patent cilia. Flowering between September and December, mainly in November, rarely as late as January.
