a perennial herb found in grasslands in mountainous regions; the

rosette way and have long petioles like the lower part's leaves.
Blades are triangular, 6-11cm long, and the tips become pointed.
Numerous white hairs are observable on the backside. Bracts measure
8-14mm in width. Bloom time: August-October. |
