1. Leaf blade: The leaf blade is obovate-lanceolate, oblanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, mostly between 4-20cm in length and about 1-5cm in width. The apex of the leaf blade is obtuse or acute, and the edge has different appearances such as undulate teeth, pinnatipartite, inverted pinnatipartite or lyrate pinnatipartite. The petiole and main veins are often tinged with reddish-purple color, and the exterior is arachnoid-white pilose or almost glabrous.

The scape is 1 or several, as long as or slightly longer than the leaves, 10-25 cm high. The flowers are bright yellow in color and surrounded by green stems. The flowers bloom from April to September and last for 1-2 months.
