Podolepis decipiens is a perennial herb to 70 cm (28 in) high with a single upright or several woolly stems from a rootstock that is renewed yearly. The leaves are covered sparsely to densely with flattened hairs, margins more or less flat to rolled under, upper surface rough, basal leaves in a sparse rosette, lance, oblong, oval or egg-shaped, 3–20 cm (1.2–7.9 in) long, 5–30 mm (0.20–1.18 in) wide, leaves toward apex stem-clasping, sessile, mostly linear to linear to lance-shaped, usually 1–10 cm (0.39–3.94 in) long and 2–15 mm (0.079–0.591 in) wide. The flowers are bright yellow or orange, usually single, with 20-40 fringed petals, mostly 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) in diameter, bracts papery in several rows and on a peduncle 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to February and the fruit is a cypsela 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long, about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide and covered with barbed bristles. [2] [3] [4]
