This differs from the other species of the genus in its 
radiate capitula. It belongs to the section Vartheimia, 
distinguished by the suffrutescent rather than shrubby habit, 
and by the outer setse of the pappus not much shorter than 
the others, or only a very few more shortened. The invo-fc 
lucre is very different from that of Inula. 
Common on Yarkand plains, on roadsides, and in waste 
places.
