Description
provided by Flora of Zimbabwe
Low growing perennial with fleshy rootstock and stems. It is easily distinguished from the related Launaea nana by the smaller number of ligulate florets (5-10 per capitulum), each tipped with 5 teeth. The basal rosette of leaves is normally absent at the time of flowering.
