The leaves are linear lanceolate or linear oblanceolate, and some are narrow lanceolate. The top of the leaves is rounded and blunt, and the base gradually narrows. The sides of the leaves sometimes curl slightly downward.

The leaves of the black sedge are oval, 2.5 to 10 cm long and about 1.5 to 3 cm wide. The apex of the leaf is sharp, entire or with irregular wavy coarse teeth. The base of the leaf is wedge-shaped, gradually narrowing and finally becoming a petiole, with a petiole length of up to 2 cm.

The corolla of the black daisy is radial, with 5 petals, which are usually white.
