Oriental false hawksbeard exhibits a distinctive rosette of hairy leaves akin to small sowthistle, with upper leaves transitioning to a more linear shape and clasping the stem. Tearing these leaves releases a milky sap. As it matures, the flowering stem emerges, bearing additional leaves, contrasting with the leafless stems seen in some relatives. It becomes a highly branched herb, with the potential to form extensive growths. The specific leaf arrangement on the flowering stem aids in distinguishing oriental false hawksbeard from similar species.
