A low sprawling shrub, 0.0-0.0 cm in height, with a single main stem at base, forming rather diffuse mats to 1.5 m in diam., Flowering stems slender, 2.0-3.0 mm in diam., villous to glabrescent; trailing along ground. Leaves oblong linear, obtuse, entire or trifid, obtuse to truncate at base, 2.0-4.5 cm long, 2.0-5.0 mm wide; usually widely spaced and secund, occasionally loosely ascending; sparsely villous to puberulous. Inflorescences turbinate, 2.5-3.0 cm in diam.; sessile to pedunculate, peduncle up to 2.0 cm long, usually at right angles to stem. Involucral receptacle flat, 0.5 cm wide. Involucral bracts very narrowly lanceolate linear 0.8-1.0 cm long, 1.0-1.5 mm wide; apex acuminate to slightly cirrhous and minutely crinite; imbricate, cartilaginous, tomentose. Bracteoles oblanceolate, abruptly acute or acuminate, 5.0-6.0 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, cartilaginous, very thickly lanate. Perianth 2.0-2.5 cm long, yellow, becoming greenish in the tube region. Perianth tube 8.0 mm long, tubular obconical, glabrous, but minutely puberulous distally. Perianth claws filiform, becoming sharply recurved subterminally, adaxial claw glabrous to glabrescent proximally, the remainder hispidulous. Perianth limbs narrowly lanceolate acute, 1.0 mm long, scarcely differentiated from the perianth claws. Style filiform, 2.5-3.0 mm long, straight, tapering towards apex; yellow, becoming pale green with age.
