Scientific name: Tephroseris furusei

A perennial about 45 cm tall, growing in limestone areas.
The stem is erect and has cobwebby hairs.
The basal leaves are not tufted; they are few, long-stalked, and oblong.
The leaves on the middle part of the stem are oblanceolate, about 8 cm long.
The flowers, 5 in an umbel at the stem tip, are 2.5–3 cm across.
The flowers consist of ligulate flowers and capitate flowers; the ligulate flowers are yellow and 12–16 mm long.
The flower stalks are 3–6.5 cm.
The involucre is green, 5–7 mm long, and has short hairs.
There are no bracts below the involucre.

It can be distinguished from Korinka by the presence or absence of hairs on the stem, and from Takane-korinka by the flower color and the presence or absence of bracts below the involucre.
