Crepis multiflora is an annual stem therophyte that reaches heights of growth of 7 to 30, rarely up to 40 centimeters. The leaves have no glandular hairs. The stems of the cups are hardly thickened when the plant is fruiting. The shell is 8 to 9 millimeters in size. The outer bracts are one third as long as the inner ones. The flowers are 7 to 8 millimeters in size. The fruits are dark brown and are not enclosed by the inner bracts. The outer fruits are usually 3.5 to 4 millimeters in size, unevenly ribbed, keeled and narrower at their tip than at the base. The inner fruits are 3 to 3.5 millimeters in size, spindle-shaped, 10-ribbed, finely prickly and narrow towards the top.
The flowering period extends from April to June.
