A rather harshly glandular-pubescent perennial herb with 1-4 erect flowering stems from the crown, up to c. 60 cm tall, simple below, branching above into a corymbose panicle.

Heads discoid, campanulate, c. 10 x 8 mm across the top of the flattened pappus, few to many in corymbose panicles. Involucral bracts c. 12-14, c. 6.5-10 mm long, clothed in short, stiff gland-tipped hairs, calyculus bracts 2 or 3, short. Flowers purple or dull yellow. Achenes cylindric, ribbed, hispid between the ribs.
