Woolly Pearly Everlasting is an erect herb, with stout, not much branched
stems, which are entirely cottony or woolly, 25-50 cm tall. Leaves are
elliptic, densely velvety, less on the upper surface, nearly
stem-clasping. Lower ones are 3-5-veined, 4-6 cm long, with or without
distinct stalk. Upper ones are 1.2-1.5 cm long. Some leaves can be as much
as 2 cm wide. Flowers are borne in clusters of more than 15. The flowers
are actually flower-heads, about 1 cm across. Florets are yellow,
appearing in the central disk, surrounded by papery, shining-white
bracts. Woolly Pearly Everlasting is found in the Himalayas, from
Afghanistan to SW China, at altitudes of 1800-3300 m.
Flowering: July-October.
