Stems single or clustered, erect to lax (simple or branched).

petiolate or sessile (bases sometimes clasping);

blades subpalmately to pinnately nerved, mostly ovate or deltate to oblanceolate, lanceolate, linear, or filiform (and most intermediate shapes), rarely suborbiculate (sometimes palmately or pinnately lobed to 2–3-pinnatifid), ultimate margins entire or denticulate to serrate or toothed (sometimes with relatively many callous denticles or teeth), faces glabrous or hairy (usually arachnose to tomentose, often glabrescent).

Heads (sometimes nodding) usually radiate or discoid (rarely quasi-disciform), usually in corymbiform to cymiform, sometimes paniculiform or racemiform, arrays (sometimes from axils of distal leaves), sometimes borne singly.
1 reference
Calyculi usually of 1–8+ bractlets (bractlets often intergrading with distal peduncular bracts, mostly 1/5–1/2+ times phyllaries), sometimes 0.
1 reference
Involucres mostly cylindric or turbinate to campanulate, 5–15 (–40) mm diam.
1 reference
Phyllaries persistent, usually ± 5, 8, 13, or 21 [34] in (1–) 2 series, distinct (margins interlocking), erect (often reflexed in fruit), mostly oblong to lanceolate or linear, subequal or equal, margins usually scarious.

Receptacles flat to convex, foveolate, epaleate.
1 reference
Ray-florets usually ± 5, 8, 13, or 21 [34], pistillate, fertile, sometimes 0;
1 reference
corollas usually yellow, sometimes ochroleucous or white, rarely reddish to purplish (laminae sometimes barely surpassing phyllaries; peripheral pistillate florets usually 0, sometimes 1–8+; corollas usually yellow, sometimes ochroleucous or white).
1 reference
Disc-florets (5–) 13–80+, bisexual, fertile;
1 reference
corollas usually yellow, rarely ochroleucous, white, reddish, or purplish, tubes shorter than to equaling campanulate throats, lobes 5, erect to recurved, usually ± deltate;
1 reference
style-branches stigmatic in 2 lines, apices usually truncate-penicillate.
1 reference
Cypselae cylindric or prismatic, usually 5-ribbed or angled, glabrous or hairy (especially on ribs or angles, hairs sometimes myxogenic);

pappi usually persistent (fragile), sometimes readily falling, of 30–80+, white to stramineous, barbellulate to smooth bristles.
