Multistemmed, densely leafy shrub, 0.3-1.8 m high. Stems unbranched to few-branched; branches erect, glabrous or scabrous to silvery villous; fascicles present in leaf axils. Leaves alternate, spreading, 6.0-40.0 x 0.5-1.0 mm, linear when undissected, mucronate, sometimes involute, entire (usually on upper branches) to deeply pinnatifid, narrowed into petiole-like base when dissected, sometimes with secondary basal lobes, glabrous to silvery villous on both surfaces, leathery; basal swelling present, continuous with stem ribs; lobes 3-9, 2.0-24.0 x 0.5-1.0 mm, linear, mucronate. Capitula discoid, homogamous, terminal, few-to many-headed (5 to +100), simple or compound corymbs, pedunculate; peduncles 8.0-42.0 mm long, tomentose. Involucre 3.0-6.0 x 1.5-3.0 mm, narrowly campanulate to cylindrical, tapering at the base; involucral bracts 3-or 4-seriate, loosely to tightly arranged, margins and apices scarious, membranous apices of inner bracts ± 0.5 mm long, glabrous to villous, brown margins absent, median resin canals present; outer bracts lanceolate, 1.4-2.5 mm long, acute to acuminate; middle bracts lanceolate, 2.4-3.5 mm long, acute to acuminate; inner bracts lanceolate to oblong, 3.3-4.2 mm long, rounded. Receptacle convex; paleae in marginal series (rarely rudimentary inner paleae present), oblong to linear, 4.0-4.8 mm long, acute, rigid with thick scarious margins and apices, scarious apices ± 0.6 mm long. Disc florets 3-18, sometimes with resin canals in the tube, limb and lobes; corolla 2.3-2.6 mm long, with only glandular trichomes, yellow; tube 1.0-1.5 mm long; limb campanulate, 0.8-1.2 mm long (excluding lobes); lobes spreading, 0.6-0.7 mm long, triangular. Anthers 2.5-2.8 mm long (including apical appendage); apical appendage oblong. Style 2.0-2.8 mm long (excluding branches); branches 0.5-0.6 mm long. Cypselas ca. 2.0 x 0.5 mm, oblong, 13-to14-ribbed, apical rim thickened, entire to slightly dentate, light to dark brown, glandular trichomes absent, discontinuous resin canals in ribs present. It flowers throughout the year, with a peak between April and July.
