Basal leaves lobed, on petioles 4 - 10 cm long. Units rounded, with irregularly scattered acute fibrous or napped groups at the base of the stem; vaginas herbaceous, elliptical, naked or single fibers of the transition to the stem. The above stem leaves shortenings to inflorescence, passing in close elliptical vaginas, covered with single hairs. Main beams 8 - 35, rough, 1,5 - 9 cm long, in fruit abundance extending, keeled, nude, with a sheath of 4 - 6 (7), 3 - 6 mm long, 1,2 – 2,0 mm wide, extended lance, herbaceous, naked leaflets or missing. Sun visors with 10 - 25 flowers; bracts 3 - 6, sharp lance, 2,0 – 4,2 mm long, 0,.8 – 1,0 mm wide, bare. Flower stems 3 - 6 mm and extending in fruit abundance, naked.
