Shrubs to small trees up to 2 m high; stems flexuous above, hexagonal, densely pilose with brownish trichomes. Leaves with petioles mostly 0.5–1.5 cm long; blades lanceolate, broadest at basal 1/3, 4.0–9.5 cm long, 1–3 cm wide, apex distally narrowly acute, not acuminate, margins not or scarcely recurved distally, with marginal teeth projecting upward or outward (may vary in intensity), not inward, adaxial surface dark green, lamina dotted with gland-like persistent or aborted stumps of small scaber, with weakly insculpate veins, abaxial surface gray-green, tawny-pilose, sometimes contorted, denser on veins, with thin grayish prostrate myceliiform branching trichomes; secondary veins in 4–5 pairs, strongly ascending. Inflorescence distinctly exceeding the reduced distal leaves, main axis and branches mostly deflected at nodes, rounded corymbiform; branches tomentellous. Heads sessile in clusters of 2–6 congested in larger dense glomerules, 10–11 mm high × 2 mm wide; involucres cylindrical or fusiform, ca. 16 in ca. 5 series, 1.0–4.5 mm long, ca. 1.2 mm wide, short-acute, greenish brown, darkened at tips or along midvein distally, glabrous. Florets with corollas pink-lilac, ca. 6 mm long, with numerous glandular dots on basal tubes, with a few short hairs at apices of tubes, tubes ca. 2 mm long, lobes ca. 4 mm long; anther thecae dark reddish brown, ca. 2.5 mm long. Achenes ca. 2 mm long; pappus white, of ca. 45 capillary bristles ca. 6.5 mm long, not or scarcely broadened at tips. Pollen grains ca. 35 µm in diam.
