Basal leaves are pinnately parted, oblong or oblanceolate, or pinnately parted with big heads, oblanceolate, or undivided, oval, elliptical, triangular, triangular or round, and all basal leaves are gradually long or have short wings; The middle and lower stems and leaves are pinnatifid or pinnatifid. They are oval or oblanceolate, 3-12cm long and 2-7cm wide. The base of the wing is sharp and narrow, the wing is narrow or wide, and gradually widens towards the base of the stalk. The stem base is round, ear-shaped, and the top lobe is as big or as big as the side lobe, wide triangle, halberd-shaped wide triangle, egg-shaped heart-shaped and side lobe. Branches of leaves or inflorescences below the lower stems and leaves are of the same type as the middle and lower stems and leaves, lanceolate or linear lanceolate, with or without splitting, long and tapering at the top, wide at the lower part and half-embracing at the base; All leaves or lobes and petioles have sharp serrations or large serrations of different sizes or leaves on the upper part and branches of inflorescence. Most of the edges are complete or the upper part is complete, the tip is sharp or tapering, the hairs on both sides are smooth and the texture is thin. [ 1]

The total bracts are 3-4 layers, arranged in imbricate shape and growing towards the inner layer; The outer layer is needle-shaped or Yangtze River Delta-shaped, 3-7 mm long and 1-3 mm wide; The middle and inner layers are lanceolate to linear lanceolate, with a length of 8- 1 1 mm and a width of1-2mm; All involucral bracts are acute at the top, glabrous outside or with some capitate stalk glandular hairs along the midvein in the upper part of the middle part of the outer layer or inner layer.
