Description
Brachyglottis lagopus may grow up to 45 cm tall, but is generally smaller. The leaves form a rosette appressed to the ground, but may become erect or spreading, occasionally forming multiple rosettes. The leaves may reach 25 cm long and are variably hairy, but are often covered in dense trichomes. The inflorescence can bear up to 50 yellow capitula, each 8–18 mm in diameter. A capitulum is composed of 8–18 ray florets and 14–72 disc florets. Fruit are achenes up to 6 mm long and bear a setose pappus.
