Chondrilla chondrilloides is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family, native to parts of southern and central Europe. It grows 10–35 cm tall and is glabrous or subglabrous. The plant has rosette leaves that are narrowly obovate, linear, or narrowly elliptic, with a glaucous surface. It produces 1–5 flowering stems and has a synflorescence with many heads. The involucre measures 8.0–11.0 mm in length and 3.5–5.0 mm in diameter, with linear or linear-ovate bracts. The corolla is ligulate, and the achenes are 5.0–6.0 mm long with a beak slightly shorter than the corpus.
