Pericome caudata is a midsized shrub that lives on steep and rocky hillsides at moderate elevations.
The yellow disc flowers are born in large racemes, but the easiest field characteristic is the shape of the leaf.
The leaf is triangular except for the apex, which is elongate and appears to be about half the length of the leaf.
