It is a small perennial herb taking a clumped form just a few centimeters tall, its herbage growing on a caudex and taproot unit. The leaves are up to 5 centimeters long and coated in rough hairs. The inflorescence bears flower heads on erect peduncles, each head measuring 1 to 3 centimeters wide with hairy phyllaries.
