Heads in paniculiform arrays. Peduncles 2–5 mm, densely glandular-pubescent. Involucres cylindric to narrowly campanulate, 6–9 mm. Phyllaries 18–22 in 5–7 series, greenish, 3–4-striate, unequal, margins scarious (apices acute to acuminate); outer lance-ovate (sparsely puberulent, gland-dotted), inner lanceolate (glabrous). Florets 5–7; corollas white, 5–6.5 mm. Cypselae 2.5–3, puberulent to sparsely pubescent; pappi of 28–32 white, barbellulate bristles.

Of conservation concern.
Brickellia knappiana is found only in the mountains of eastern California. It is noted as a possible hybrid between B. californica and B. multiflora. Collections from mixed populations of B. knappiana and B. californica have been noted on herbarium specimens.
