The plant is sub-acaulescent with a single flowering head, it measures 3 to 5 centimetres (1.2 to 2.0 in). 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.
