Much-branched, mat-forming, perennial herbs, rarely erect, rather ascending, 100-300 mm tall, up to 400 mm in diameter. Older stems decumbent, glabrescent, sometimes rooting at nodes; young growing points densely long-pilose. Leaves initially rosulate; petiole broadened basally, semi-ample x icaul, relatively short with serrate-dentate margins; lamina pinnatisect to bipinnatisect, 40-75 x 5-15 mm, initially delicately long-pilose, glabrescent; leaves on flowering shoots basally pinnatisect with decreasing number and size of lobes transending to peduncle; lobes oblanceolate, mucronate with hard, white mucro. Capitula homogamous discoid, solitary, terminal, pedunculate, in flower ±15 mm in diameter, in fruit more than 20 mm in diameter; distal part of peduncle and involucral bracts felted, soon glabrescent. Involucre saucer-shaped, involucral bracts in 3 or 4 rows, imbricate, broadly ovate, rarely obtuse-triangular, increasing in width from outer to inner, with conspicuous, broad, transparent, membranous margin, up to 4 x 3.2 mm. Receptacle flattened. Paleae broadly ovate to oblong-elliptic, irregularly dentate, transparent, membranous, 3-4 mm long, outer many-veined, inner with conspicuous main vein. Disc florets ±250, bisexual; corolla tubular, 5-dentate(-lobed), golden yellow, turning red-brown with age, 4.0-5.2 mm long. Stamens 5. Style bifurcate, branches linear, truncate, with sweeping hairs on distal apices. Ovary up to 2.5 mm long, after anthesis with dense, woolly indumentum. From: Hilliard, OM. 1983. Gnaphaliinae (first part): Facelis - Edmondia. Fl. S. Africa 33(7,2): 1-317. Botanical Research Institute, Department Agriculture, Pretoria.

Like L. pedunculare but involucral bracts glabrescent. From: Manning, JC. 2013. Asteraceae: Lasiospermum. In: DA Snijman (ed.), Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region 2: The Extra Cape flora. Strelitzia 30: 303-304. South African National Biodiversity Institute, Pretoria. [CC BY]
L. poterioides can easily be confused with L. pedunculare. The presence of the felty indumentum at the tip of the peduncle and involucral bracts, the conspicuous, broad, transparent, membranous margin of the bracts, the leaf lobes that are almost obtuse and the distribution with one exception above 1 500 m altitude, distinguish L. poterioides from L. pedunculare. From: Hilliard, OM. 1983. Gnaphaliinae (first part): Facelis - Edmondia. Fl. S. Africa 33(7,2): 1-317. Botanical Research Institute, Department Agriculture, Pretoria.
