Disc florets 50–70; corollas pale yellow. Cypselae 6–8.5 × 4–7 mm; pappi 0.5–2 mm. 2n = 14.

Discussion
James Allison (in protologue) suggested that Silphium perplexum is a hybrid between S. glutinosum and S. integrifolium. It has glandular hairs on its stems, leaves, and phyllaries as in S. glutinosum; it is also found on chalk, has taller stems, larger leaf blades, and deeper yellow corollas. Further study is needed to determine its status.
