a perennial herb that grows on rocks or cliffs on the coasts.
Radical leaves carry 10-38cm long petioles; blades measure 4-15cm
long and 6-30cm wide, in the shape of a thick, glossy reniform.

vellus hairs. 30-75cm long flower stalks arise in-between the leaves
and set yellow flower heads in a corymb way. The fruit (achene) is
5-6.5mm long and pappus tinge brown. Bloom time: October-December. |
