Stem scape-like or sparingly leafy, corymbosely branched at 
the apex, sparingly clothed with stellate down and a few simple 
white hairs, the upper part densely stellately-downy with a few 
black gland-tipped hairs. Primary radical leaves broadly oval- 
spat hulate, abruptly attenuated into short winged slightly-woolly 
petioles,' obtuse, entire or denticulate ; the later ones oval- 
elliptical or elliptical-ovate, rather abruptly attenuated into long 
woolly petioles, subacute, denticulate, or strongly serrate-dentate, 
sometimes with a few long teeth in the basal half curving for- 
ward, sub-coriaceous, sparingly clothed above and on the margins 
with coarse bulbous-based hairs and occasionally a few stellate 
hairs, beneath with slender soft hairs and a very little down ; stem- 
leaves 1 to -1, the lowest one resembling the radical leaves, but 
smaller, with a shorter petiole and more acute, the upper ones 
smaller and sub-sessile, the uppermost sessile. Anthodes rather 
small, usually numerous, in a lax corymb, with the peduncles short, 
nding-spreading, usually nearly straight. Pericline ovoid at 
the base, conical - oblong - cylindrical after flowering ; phyllaries 
numerous, subacute, olive with pale edges, clothed with stellate 
down, especially on the margins, and numerous short black gland- 
tipped hairs. Florets sub - glabrous, not ciliated. Styles livid-

purplish-black.
