Leaves are up to 3 cm with truncate tip and rough little tubercles at the apex of the leaves. They look like limestone and are hard to be seen in the wild. Yellow flowers with 2 cm diameter appear in late fall. ==Cultivation== The plants are [[calcicole]] (=they appreciate calcaire soils) The plants need well drained soil and sunny exposure. Few watering in summer and not at all in winter Division of larger clumps is the easiest way of propagation. Seed is also possible.
