Rhizomes short, stout, ca. 2.5 cm in diam., sometimes tuberous, ascending, with black membranous bristles at collar of root. Stem solitary, erect, green, sometimes reddish violet in upper part, 25-30(-50) cm tall, glabrous, glandular hairy in upper part. Radical leaf petiole 16-20 cm; blade elliptic or obovate-oblong, 2-6(-10) × 1.5-2.5 cm, base tapered, attenuate, apex rounded-obtuse. Lower stem leaves similar to radical leaves but narrowed to large winged petioles, semiamplexicaul or sometimes sessile. Median stem leaves sessile, narrowly oblong, 4-8 × 2-3 cm, base semiamplexicaul, apex obtuse or rather acute. Upper leaves 3-4 × ca. 1 cm. All leaves glabrous, margin entire or sometimes terminal leaves inconspicuously dentate, glandular ciliate on margin. Capitula solitary, long pedunculate, 3-4 cm in diam., hemispheric, 1.2-2 cm. Phyllaries 1.2-2 cm, white pubescent, with long, simple, and orbicular glandular hairs; outer phyllaries lanceolate, 1.5-3.5 mm wide; inner phyllaries narrowly lanceolate, 1.2-3 mm wide. Ray florets 2.2-2.8 cm; corolla yellowish, with ca. 2 mm tube; lamina 18-24 × 3.6-5 mm, hairy at base, 4-6-veined, apically finely toothed. Disk florets 5-6 mm; corolla yellow, with ca. 2 mm tube and campanulate limb, lobes 1-1.5 mm, glabrous. Achenes heteromorphic, achenes in ray florets ca. 1.8 mm, glabrous, without pappus; achenes in disk florets 2-2.8 mm, adpressed hairy. Pappus white, 2-2.3 mm, bristly, serrate. Fl. Jun-Aug. 2n = 40.
