Perennial herbs or subshrublets, to about 0.6 m tall. Stems woody towards the base, usually slender, 2.0-4.0(-5.0) mm in diameter, branching mainly near the base, usually glabrous, occasionally sparsely hairy, but densely hairy or cobwebby, glabrescent in some forms. Leaves deltoid-reniform to reniform, distinctly (rarely shallowly)5-7-lobed, sometimes with one or two pairs of lateral pinnae on upper leaves; lamina 6-58 x 8-64 mm, glabrous, rarely sparsely hairy on veins below and at junction with petiole, very hairy in some forms, thinly cobwebby, glabrescent in others; apex obtuse to rounded (rarely acute); margin dentate; base truncate to subcordate to cordate; petiole 6-72(-87) mm long, glabrous or sparsely hairy (hairy in some forms, cobwebby glabrescent in some northern specimens), with white woolly hairs in axils; auricles present, small or conspicuous, persistent or caducous, auriform in the Western and Eastern Cape, lanceolate in the northern subspecies. Capitula heterogamous, radiate, few (2-12) to many (14-90) per stem branch (rarely as many as 120), usually small, arranged in a lax panicle (rarely compact); peduncles 2-55(-65) mm long, glabrous (or hairy in some forms, cobwebby, glabrescent in some northern specimens), bracteate. Involucre with few calyculus bracts, often descending peduncle; phyllaries (5-)8-10(-13), 3-5(-6) mm long, glabrous (or hairy in some south-western Cape forms); margins scarious. Ray florets (3-)5(-8, rarely 9), 3.5-7.5(-12.5) mm long; limb 3.0-6.0(-9.5) mm, 4-veined (rarely 6-veined). Disc florets (7-)16-28(-43); corolla 3.0-5.0 mm long. Cypselae obovate (to narrowly obovate in C. lobata subsp. lasiocaulis), laterally compressed, margined to narrow-winged, ray cypselae with broad wings in Eastern Cape forms, brown or dark brown (to black) with paler margin or wing, 2.0-4.0 mm long, ciliate and hairy to sparsely hairy on faces, inner faces often less hairy than outer, some almost glabrous. Pappus of scabrid bristles, usually two thirds of disc corolla length. From: Cron, GV; Balkwill, K; Knox, EB. 2006. A revision of the genus Cineraria (Asteraceae, Senecioneae).

This species, based on specimens collected by Rand from the Klipriviersberg, south of Johannesburg, was uncollected for 45 years, until it was rediscovered after a determined search over a number of years in the hills in the southern suburbs of Johannesburg. It has since been rediscovered in both the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve and the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, near Heidelberg. Cineraria longipes is a fairly weak (possibly short-lived) perennial herb, recognisable by its solitary or few capitula on relatively long glabrous peduncles, shallowly-lobed reniform (to deltoid-reniform) leaves with long petioles. The leaves are entirely glabrous and their base is characteristically cuneate to truncate. It could possibly be confused with C. lobata, but has glabrous cypselae, as opposed to the ciliate and hairy cypselae in that species, and generally larger capitula.

In grassland and seeps on south-and south-east-facing slopes of hills, amongst rocks and often associated with Protea caffra Meisn., Cussonia paniculata Eckl. & Zeyh. and ferns such as Pteridium and Cheilanthes, Ventersdorp Basic Lava or basalt.
