Description

Shrub < 0.5-5 m tall. Stems densely tomentose and sometimes glandular, but without long straight hairs. Lvs from almost glabrous to moderately clothed in white tomentum on upper surface, with dense white tomentum on lower surface and sometimes with sparse to dense covering of glandular hairs giving a yellow appearance to lf, apetiolate, usually oblong to narrow-obovate or elliptic, rarely linear or ± obtriangular, slightly revolute but lower surface not greatly obscured, 1.5-10-(15) × 1-3-(4) mm. Capitula in small, dense, rounded corymbs.

Florets 4-15-(25) per capitulum; receptacular scales few to many or 0, with white radiating lamina slightly exceeding corollas.
