Its leaves are arranged alternately along the branchlets, more or less sessile, narrowly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, long and wide.

The heads or daisy-like "flowers" are arranged singly on the ends of a few branches, and are in diameter on a peduncle mostly long with three to five rows of bracts at the base. Each head has 30 to 80 mauve to pink ray florets, the ligules long, surrounding 40 to 100 yellow disc florets. Flowering occurs from January to March and the fruit is a glabrous achene, the pappus long.
