Arnica sororia is a rhizomatous perennial herb producing one or more hairy, glandular stems 10 to 50 centimeters (4 to 19+1⁄2 in) tall. There are a few to several pairs of broadly lance-shaped leaves along the stem,[4] the lower ones borne on petioles. Leaves may reach up to 14 cm long.[5]
The inflorescence consists of a daisy-like flower head, rarely more than one per stem.[4] These are lined with phyllaries coated in glandular hairs. The flower head has a center of glandular yellow disc florets and a fringe of yellow ray florets. The fruit is an achene a few millimeters long with a white pappus.[5]
