Stems solitary, erect, 35 – 60 cm tall, unbranched or bearing only floral branches, green, sparsely glandular-puberulent. Basal leaves long-petiolate; leaf blades obovate-oblong, 1.2 – 7 cm long, 1 – 6.5 cm wide, apex rounded, base subcordate; petioles slender, 3.5 – 7.5 cm long, narrowly winged. Mid-cauline leaves ovate-oblong, sessile, 5.5 – 10.5 cm long, 3.5 – 7 cm wide, apex obtuse or mucronate, base cordate, semiamplexicaul, margin remotely dentate proximally, subentire distally, both surfaces subglabrous; upper cauline leaves ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 2 – 8 cm long, 1.5 – 6 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, base cordate, semiamplexicaul. Capitula (including ray florets) 0.5 – 1.4 cm in diam., usually solitary; peduncles 2 – 13.5 cm long, glandular-pubescent. Involucres hemispheric, 4 – 8 mm long, 0.5 – 1.2 cm in diam.; phyllaries in 2 – 3 series, outer ones lanceolate, 1.5 – 2 mm wide, margin ciliate, abaxially glandular-pubescent on lower half, distally glabrous or subglabrous; inner ones narrowly lanceolate, ca. 1 mm wide, margin ciliate, abaxially glandular-pubescent; apex of all phyllaries long-acuminate, equal with or slightly longer than disk florets. Ray florets 18 – 25, yellow, 5 – 8 mm long; tube 1 – 2 mm long, glabrous; lamina oblong or oblong-elliptic, slightly spreading, 4 – 6 mm long, ca. 2 mm wide, 4 - veined, apex 2 – 3 - denticulate.

58BC8FB078CE54EE8B9D32CC0B3581A8.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the smallest capitula among all known species in Doronicum in China. Hence, the Chinese name “ 小花多榔菊 (xiǎo huā duō láng jú) ” is suggested.	en	Bai, Zengfu, Zhang, Guiyuan, Zhang, Zhihua, Li, Anzhong, Li, Hao, Wang, Geyang, Chen, Xuelin, Zhang, Ji (2025): Doronicum micranthum (Asteraceae, Senecioneae): a distinct new species from western Qinling, China.
