Leaves
Shaped like spatula with roundish, long, narrow, linear bases to having a broad rounded apex and a tapering base. Mostly 4 centimetres (1.6 in) to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long, .6 centimetres (0.24 in) to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) wide. The edges are smooth or toothed towards apex and both surfaces woolly.
Flowers
Broadly bell shaped, woolly flower heads appear singly or a few together, 1 centimetre (0.39 in) to 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) in diameter.
Seeds and reproduction
Achenes .3 centimetres (0.12 in) to .5 centimetres (0.20 in);
pappus 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long.

Reports claim S. crassiflorus does not produce viable seeds and spreads itself
asexually or via
vegetative reproduction .

In a
remote sensing project for
rapid ecological evaluation , S. crassiflorus was found in
Colombia inhabiting two areas that were evaluated.
