The basal leaves are long stalked and about 30 centimeters wide. Your blade is broadly ovate and has a heart-shaped base. The base of the upper stem leaves is truncated in a wedge shape. They are seated at most half a stalk.

Usually there are 2 to 8 flower heads. These have a diameter of 6 to 8 centimeters. The bracts are egg-shaped, the outer ones have a bent-back, leaf-shaped tip. The ray-florets are deep golden yellow. The tubular flowers are brownish yellow.

The flowering period extends from June to August.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 20.

The great telekie is similar to the common elephant ( Inula helenium ), but differs from it in the underside of its leaves: The telekie's somewhat heart-shaped leaves are also green from below, while the more elongated leaves of the common elephant have woolly hair on the underside are.
