Upper leaves shortly petiolate to nearly sessile; blade oblanceolate to elliptic, 5.5–8.8 × 1.5–2.7 cm, apex acuminate, base attenuate, margin entire and mucronate, lateral lobes 0–1 pairs. Synflorescence paniculiform, with several axillary more or less corymbiform smaller partial synflorescence with 3–14 small capitula; axillary synflorescence usually with 1–2 clustered bracts at the base or with small bracts at the node of the peduncles; bractal leaves ovate to elliptic. Capitula with 5–6(–9) florets; peduncles slender and glabrous. Involucres cylindric, 2–3 mm in diameter, 7–10 mm long. Phyllaries in 3–4 rows, margin white scarious; outermost phyllaries ovate, ca. 1.0 × 0.7 mm, apex obtuse and ciliate; middle phyllaries ovate-oblong, ca. 2.5 × 0.6 mm, apex acute; innermost phyllaries linear-oblong, 7–10 × ca. 1.5 mm. Florets yellow, tube ca. 2.8 mm long, ligule ca. 4.2 mm long, ca. 1.2 mm wide, apex 5-toothed. Anther tube yellow, 1–1.2 mm long. Style branches ca. 1.2 mm long.
