The leaves on the lower parts of the stem, 10-30cm long, are pinnately cut, and those on the upper parts are entire and small. Flower heads, many of which are about 2cm in diameter, are arranged on the upper branches of the stem in a panicle-like manner. The flower heads are generally pale yellow, rarely white or pale purple, and bloom in the daytime and wither in the evening.
