Leucoptera nodosa can be recognized by its non-fleshy, narrow, alternate leaves, many of which are trifid or pinnatipartite, and the persistent knot-like leaf-bases. The rays are comparatively large, and the corolla lobes of the disc-florets have a central resin gland (a character also occurring in L . oppositifolia). From: Nordenstam, RB. 1976.
