is a perennial herb that inhabits grasslands and deep forests in
mountainous regions, with stems standing 0.5-1m tall and densely
covered with light brown hairs. With long petioles, radical leaves
stay alive during the flowering time, and they are oval, 12-18cm in
length, tips pointed, and the margins serrated. Head flowers bloom
in corymbs; they are light red-purple, and the involucres are
spindle-shaped. Involucral bracts are prominent, arranged in 5 rows,
each curving backward. Bloom time: September-October. |
