It is a very woolly annual, growing 4–20 cm tall. [6]
The leaves are wooly on both sides. They are 1 to 5 cm long, narrow oblong shaped. [6]
The flower heads are 3 to 4 mm long. They are arranged in clusters of 3 to 10, surrounded by long leaves. The flower head bracts are wooly, and pale below, with dark chaffy hairless tips. The florets are brownish yellow. The stigmas are pale. [6]
