A perennial plant of the Asteraceae family (APG classification: Asteraceae). Like Tsuwabuki, it has only basal leaves. The leaf blade is cordate or long cordate, and is the size of an adult's palm. The edges have irregular, sharp double serrations. The flower stalk is 25-42 cm tall. From September to December, it produces corymbs of flower heads, each 3 cm in diameter. It is found only on Yakushima and Tanegashima, where it grows under forests.
