Slender, erect, ± single-stemmed shrublet up to 400 mm high; branches closely leafy above, becoming leafless below, densely appressed-pubescent or felted. Leaves alternate, developing axillary tufts, sessile, 3 or 5 pinnatisect with terminal lobe and 1 or 2 pairs of lateral lobes, cuneate to obovate in outline, 6-12 x 4-12 mm, narrowed to a petiole-like base, densely appressed-sericeous and gland-dotted, lobes linear to oblong, 1.5-5.0 x 0.5-1.5 mm, mucronulate, margins and midrib thickened beneath. Capitula pedunculate, solitary or up to 3 in loose terminal corymbs, radiate, 15-20 mm diam. across rays; peduncle 60-120 mm long, ± leafless or with 1 or 2 scattered, leaf-like bracts, appressed-pubescent. Involucre shallowly campanulate, ±7 mm diam.; involucral bracts 3-seriate, lanceolate, ±3 x 1 mm, appressed-pubescent, with small, purple, fimbriate, papery tips and margins, outermost series acute, middle series obtuse with more conspicuous papery tips, inner series slightly shorter and broader, pubescent only along midline. Receptacle conical, areolate, puberulous, epaleate. Ray florets 15-18, white, female, split to base and without corolla tube, oblong, 6-7 x 2.5-3.0 mm, papillose above with scattered glistening glands, thinly sericeous beneath with numerous glistening glands; ovary ovate, compressed, 1.8 x 0.8 mm, margins narrowly winged and ± sericeous distally on shoulders, inner face keeled, with glistening glands on both faces; style ±1 mm long, branches linear, 0.5 mm long, truncate and penicillate with marginal stigma; pappus 0. Disc florets yellow, 4-lobed, 0.8 mm long, covered with glistening glands, tube compressed and 4-ribbed with lateral ribs narrowly winged, inflated above; anthers obtuse with suborbicular apical appendage; ovary narrowly ovoid, 1.8 mm long, 4-ribbed with marginal ribs narrowly winged distally, with glistening glands on outer face only; style ±1.8 mm long, branches linear, 0.5 mm long, truncate and penicillate with marginal stigma; pappus 0. Cypselas unknown. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Taxonomic notes. In: J Manning & P Goldblatt (eds), Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region 1: The Core Cape flora.

Distinguished by its smaller, 3 or 5-sect leaves, 6-12 mm long, with linear or oblong lobes 0.5-1.5 mm wide, and densely appressed-pubescent on both surfaces, and by its relatively smaller heads, 15-20 mm across the rays. L. quinqueloba has distinctive, petiolate, sub-palmately lobed leaves with a russet, villous pubescence on the vegetative parts, and L. pectinata has larger, 7 or 5-sect, subglabrous leaves, mostly 15-25 mm long, with villous margins and aristate lobes. Both species have larger heads, 25-40 mm across the rays. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Taxonomic notes.
