The leaves are on a base 0.6–4 cm (0.24–1.6 in) long then spread or turn upward and divide into 1–14 final segments 0.1–3.6 cm (0.039–1.4 in) long and 0.7–1.8 mm (0.028–0.071 in) wide . The inflorescence consists of 35-100 cream-white flowers on a stalk with white soft hairs that is 20–75 mm (0.79–3.0 in) long. The pedicel is 3–9 mm (0.12–0.35 in) long with soft white hairs.
