The 9–12 cm long and 4–3.5 cm wide leaves are medium green and pale green underneath, ovate or ovate-oblong in shape. The leaves have rounded bases and the margins are mucronate-serrate, and the apex is long acuminate. Terminal corymbs with 9–15 flowers are produced with flowers that have whitish Pappus.
