    Stems usually 1, erect or prostrate to decumbent or ascending (sometimes rooting at nodes), usually branched, glabrous or ± strigillose to villous (hairs mostly basifixed).
    Leaves usually mostly cauline [basal];
    petiolate or sessile;
    blades obovate or spatulate to lanceolate or linear, sometimes 1–3-pinnately [palmati-pinnately] lobed, ultimate margins entire or irregularly toothed, faces glabrous or ± strigillose to villous [lanate] (hairs mostly basifixed).
    Heads disciform [discoid or radiate], borne singly (peduncles sometimes dilated).
    Involucres broadly hemispheric to saucer-shaped, 3–12+ [–15+] mm diam.
    Phyllaries persistent, 13–30+ in 2–3+ series, margins and apices (colorless, light to dark-brown, or purplish) scarious.
    Receptacles flat to convex [conic], epaleate (sometimes ± covered with persistent stalks of florets).
    Ray-florets 0 [5–8+, pistillate, fertile; corollas white] (peripheral pistillate florets 8–80+ in 1–3+ series; corollas usually none).
    Disc-florets 12–200+ [–600+], bisexual, fertile [functionally staminate];
    corollas ochroleucous or yellow, tubes ± cylindric (bases sometimes adaxially saccate), throats abruptly ampliate, lobes (3–) 4, ± deltate (sometimes one larger than others, usually each with central resin canal).
    Cypselae obovoid to oblong, obcompressed or flattened, ribs 2, lateral, sometimes becoming wings, faces ± papillate (pericarps relatively thin, sometimes with myxogenic cells and/or 2 lateral resin sacs);
