Perennial herb up to c. 75 cm tall, rootstock silky-woolly, old fibrous leaf bases often present as well, roots woolly, flowering stems one or several from the crown, simple below the inflorescence, loosely woolly, glabrescent, leafy in the lower part. Radical leaves very variable in size, (5-)10-40 cm long, about half of this petiolar, blade narrowly to broadly elliptic, 0.5-8 cm wide, apex acute to obtuse', narrowed to a broad petiole-like base, expanded below, half-clasping and there persistently silky-woolly, margins minutely callose-denticulate, both surfaces lightly cobwebby, usually glabrescent, cauline leaves similar but sessile, soon distant and passing into lanceolate-acuminate bracts. Heads radiate, 2-20 corymbosely arranged. Involucre campanulate, bracts (16-)20, (7-)8-10 mm long, thinly woolly to glabrdus, calyculus bracts few, short. Rays (8-)10-13, long and spreading, they and the disc bright yellow. Achenes 4 mm long, cylindric, ribbed, hairy.
