It is characterized by dense blackish purple pilose hairs on the stems and by coarsely triangular‐dentate leaves. Ligularia zhengyiana is similar to L. fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz., but L. zhengyiana has dense long blackish purple hairs on stems, while L. fischeri is glabrous or has short yellowish‐brown hairs on stems. In addition, the pappus of L. zhengyiana is white, while that of L. fischeri is yellowish‐brown. |
