Características claves para su identificación

Calycera leucanthema is easily distinguished by its pubescent stems, pinnatifid leaves, and tetramerous florets (in fours) which is unique within the genus Calycera. This species is also the smallest member of the genus, rarely reaching over 20 cm (De Vore, 2004).
