A bushy glabrous herb, probably always perennial, branches erect or decumbent, becoming woody, sometimes rooting, leafy. Leaves fleshy, up to 10 x 2 cm but very variable and sometimes broad in relation to length, lanceolate to broadly elliptic tapering to a narrow, petiole-like, half-clasping base, apex acute to obtuse, margins denticulate, rarely more coarsely toothed or lobed. Heads radiate, few on sparsely bracteate peduncles corymbosely arranged. Involucre campanulate, bracts c. 20, 6(-7) mm long, equalling the disc, keeled, nerves 1-3, resinous, calyculus of short, broad bracts, often overlapping. Rays c. 13, they and the disc canary yellow, corolla lobes of disc flowers with a short median resinous line. Achenes 2.5 mm long, cylindric, hispid between the ribs.
