The stem is erect, with axillary buds, unbranched, or with a horizontal stem lying down and upright branches at the base, 25-60 centimeters tall, sometimes reaching 1 meter, woody, often persistent in large part, or with densely branched long branches emerging from axillary buds in the second year (as recorded), covered with short or up to 1 millimeter long brownish glandular hairs, sometimes with white silky hairs in the upper part, all with leaves, internodes 1-1.5 centimeters long, or 3-6 centimeters long in the upper part, lower leaves gradually smaller, withering and persisting during the flowering period. The leaves are lanceolate or long lanceolate, 2-5, rarely 7 centimeters long, 0.3-0.7, rarely 1 millimeter wide, apex acute or gradually acute, with a slender tip, slightly narrowed at the base, with small ears, sessile, sometimes the lower leaves are enlarged and semi-clasping the stem, flat or undulating and wrinkled at the margin, green on the upper surface, sparsely glandular hairy, somewhat silky hairy, and densely covered with white woolly hairs on the lower surface in addition to sparse glandular hairs. There are many bracts, lanceolate, covered with dense white woolly hairs on both sides, 2.5-4 times longer than the inflorescence, developing into a dense group of bracts about 3-6 centimeters in diameter, or combining with longer peduncles to form a loose umbel-like inflorescence, forming a compound bract group up to 10 centimeters in diameter. The head-like inflorescence is 4-7 millimeters in diameter. The involucre is 4-5.5 millimeters long, covered with dense white woolly hairs; the involucral bracts are about 3 layers, hairless at the top, exposed above the woolly hairs. The flowers are dimorphic, with fewer female flowers, or dioecious. The corolla is about 3 millimeters long; the corolla of the male flower is tubular-funnel-shaped, with lanceolate lobes; the corolla of the female flower is filiform. The corolla hairs are white, thicker at the upper end of the male flower, with fine teeth; the corolla hairs of the female flower are filiform, with sparse teeth at the base. The sterile ovary and achene are covered with short, stout hairs. The flowering period is August to September. Distribution area.
