Leaves alternate, spreading, 6.0 40.0 x 0.8-2.0 mm, linear to oblong, acute to mucronate, entire to trifid, involute, narrowed into petiole-like base, without secondary basal lobes, glabrous on both surfaces, leathery; basal swelling present, continuous with stem ribs; lobes 2-3, 0.5-10.0 x 0.5-1.0 mm, linear to oblong, acute to mucronate. Capitula disciform, heterogamous, terminal, many-headed ± 30, simple to compound corymbs, pedunculate; peduncles 4.0-35.0 mm long, glabrous to white tomentose. Involucre 4.0-8.0 x 3.5-8.0 mm, hemispherical, cyathiform to urceolate, sometimes tapering at the base; involucral bracts 4-or 6-seriate, with the peduncular bracts usually being the first two series, tightly arranged, margins and apices scarious, membranous apices of all bracts 0.3-1.2 mm long, glabrous to tomentose especially along the edges, brown margins absent, median resin canals present; outer bracts lanceolate, 2.0-3.0 mm long, acute; middle bracts deltoid to lanceolate, 2.2-4.2 mm long, acute; inner bracts deltoid to lanceolate, 2.2-4.3 mm long, acute to rounded; second inner bracts deltoid to lanceolate, 3.84.6 mm long, acuminate to rounded. Receptacle convex; paleae in marginal series, oblong to linear, 3.2-3.7 mm long, acute to attenuating, scarious. Filiform florets ± 20; corolla 2.3-3.0 mm long, with glandular trichomes, zygomorphic; adaxial lobes 2, 0.7-1.0 mm long, triangular, spreading, abaxial lamina 0.30.6 mm long, linear, 3-dentate. Disc florets ±100, without resin canals; corolla 2.2-3.0 mm long, with only glandular trichomes, yellow; tube 1.0-2.0 mm long; limb narrowly campanulate, 0.8-1.3 mm long (excluding lobes); lobes erect to spreading, 0.4-0.6 mm long, triangular. Anthers ± 3.0 mm long (including apical appendage); apical appendage rounded to oblong. Style 2.5-3.1 mm long (excluding branches); branches 0.4-0.7 mm long. Cypselas 2.1-2.2 x 0.5 mm, obovate, 10-to12-ribbed, apical rim thickened to membranous, entire to dentate, glandular trichomes present, sparse, scattered, not mucilaginous when soaked, discontinuous resin canals in ribs absent. Flowering time is throughout the year but especially in August, hence its vernacular name August Gold.
