Hieracium crepidispermum is an herb up to 100cm (00inches) tall, with leaves mostly in a rosette at the bottom. Leaves are up to 85mm long, sometimes with small teeth on the edges. One stalk will produce 8-25 flower heads in a flat-topped array. Each head has 25–40 white or pale yellow ray flowers but no disc flowers.[4]
