It sends up a weedy-looking thin branching stem up to Шаблон:Convert tall, topped with a number of attractive, fragrant white or pink-tinged flowers, about Шаблон:Convert wide,[4] the layered ray florets rectangular and toothed.[5][6] The flowers bloom between February and May.[4] The hairless fruit has the shape of a five-sided club.[4]

The genus name, Atrichoseris, means 'chicory plant without hairs', referring to the fruit, and the specific epithet, platyphylla, means 'flat-leaved'.[4]
