The lower leaves are oblong-lance shaped, 25–40 mm (0.98–1.57 in) long, 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) wide, tapering at the base, irregularly toothed. The upper leaves oblong-lance shaped to linear, 6–25 mm (0.24–0.98 in) long and 0.5–3 mm (0.020–0.118 in) wide. The pink or blue-purple "flowers" are arranged in loose corymbs and florets in a group of about 90. The disc floret corolla about 6 mm (0.24 in) long, 4 or 5 lobed and glandular. Flowering occurs from April to October and the fruit is dry, one-seeded, about 2 mm (0.079 in) long, ribbed and covered in silky, flattened hairs. [2] [3]
