The stems can reach 6-7 feet tall but are usually less; the leaves are progressively smaller up the stem. The stem and leaves are densely tomentose with woolly hairs that impart a gray-green color to the plant. The inflorescence is terminal, thick, and unbranched, with the large yellow flowers without spaces between them. | |
