Acrodromous venation pattern is also observed. The leaf margin is rather entire on juvenile leaves and rather serrated on older ones. Terminal corymbform inflorescence of 7 cm in length having short, linearly elliptical bracts are also present. Campanulate capitula bearing white fragrant flowers, with short peduncles of 5 to 6 mm are also present.
Involucre bracts can be divided into three groups. The external ones are oval to oblong, 1 to 2 mm in length. They are green but turn brown when glutinous. They are also glutinous and herbaceous. The middle ones are elliptical, 2.5 to 3 mm in length, pale green on the margins and purple at the tips. These turn pale brown when old. The midvein is darker and the bracts membranous. The internally found bracts are elliptical, 2 to 2.25 mm in length. The receptacle is 1.5 to 2 mm in diameter, rather flat and convex.
The external flowers occur in bunches of 18 to 26. The corolla is filiform, 2 to 2.5 mm in length. The internal flowers are in groups of 12 to 20. The tubular corolla is 3 mm long. They are yellowish brown in colour, and sometimes tinged with purple.
The ovary is reduced to the size of a nipple. Achenes are obconic, pale brown, and 1 to 1.2 mm in length. The pappus is white and 2 to 2.25 mm long.
