Within series Synotis, only S. xinningensis and S. changiana have leaves that are always abaxially densely gray-white arachnoid-tomentose; all other species of series Synotis have leaves that are abaxially only sparsely arachnoid or puberulent, and often glabrescent (Jeffrey and Chen 1984; Chen 1999; Chen et al. 2011).
The blades range from glabrous to puberulent and have scabrescent, or slightly rough, margins.
