Tolpis staticifolia

Tolpis staticifolia is a perennial herb with a rhizomatous root system and a height of 10–50 cm. Basal leaves are 4–10 cm long, linear to linear-oblanceolate, and either entire or remotely denticulate with a subacute tip. Cauline leaves are few or absent, linear, and entire. The stems are simple or sparingly branched, with branches not significantly exceeding the main stem. The plant produces few capitula with peduncles thickened below the head and a few small, appressed supplementary bracts. The involucre is 9–11 mm tall, with linear-lanceolate to narrowly elliptical bracts. The outer bracts are much shorter than the inner ones and all are floccose. The pappus consists of numerous long hairs with no short hairs. Chromosome number is 2n = 18.
