The briefly petiolated leaves are arranged in a rosette around a thick rhizome; the leaves form a sheath around the base. The leaves are appressed, pinnatifid or lyrate and the contour is ovate to lanceolate; both leave faces are canescent with ciliated and spiny margins. The pant's receptacle has silky trichomes. Involucral bracts are canescent and covered with cobweb-like hairs, each bract ends with a single spine. The fruit is a smooth rotund achene with lateral hilum measuring 5 millimetres (0.20 in) long and 1 millimetre (0.039 in) wide surmounted by a white pappus.[2]
