Lower stem leaves with winged petiole 3.5-6 cm, base subclasping or not; leaf blade elliptic, 7-13 × 2-2.5 cm, margin sharply and pectinately dentate, otherwise similar to basal leaves. Middle stem leaves sessile, elliptic, 7-11.5 × 2-4 cm, base cordate and clasping, apex acute to acuminate, otherwise similar to lower stem leaves. Upper stem leaves similar to middle stem leaves but smaller upward on stem and apex more acuminate. Synflorescence corymbiform, with few to several capitula.

Crepis coreana was originally described and until recently included in Hieracium. H. S. Pak (Fl. Coreana 7: 378. 1999) and Sennikov and I. D. Illarionova (Bot. Zhurn. 86(3): 37-59. 2001) first stated its actual affinity to Crepis and transferred the species correspondingly. It is possibly related to C. sibirica.
