    with short, woody, branched caudices, or short-rhizomatous.
    Stems 1–5+, ascending to erect (± arching, slender, brittle), ± densely pilose or villous to glabrate or glabrous (particularly proximally).
    Leaves thin, membranous, margins serrate to serrulate, scabridulous, apices acute to acuminate, sometimes caudate, mucronulate, abaxial faces glabrous, midveins usually ± densely pilose to glabrate, rarely glabrous, adaxial scabrous (short-strigose) to glabrate;
    basal usually withering by flowering, sometimes persisting (new vernal rosettes often developing at flowering), petiolate to subpetiolate (petioles narrowly to ± broadly winged, ciliate, bases ± sheathing), blades oblanceolate, lanceovate or ovate to spatulate or suborbiculate, 5–35 × 7–25 mm, abruptly attenuate, margins crenate-serrate, apices obtuse to rounded or acute;
    proximal cauline mostly withering by flowering, sessile or subpetiolate (petioles broadly winged), blades usually ovate or elliptic to elliptic-oblanceolate or lanceolate, rarely linear-lanceolate, (30–) 50–100 (–150) × (2–) 10–20 (–35) mm, greatly reduced distally, bases attenuate to cuneate;
    distal sessile, blades ovate, lanceovate, lance-elliptic, or oblanceolate to lance-linear or linear, 10–150 × 1–30 mm, progressively reduced distally, branch leaves abruptly smaller, bases cuneate, margins sometimes entire.
    Heads in ample, open, diffuse, ± pyramidal, paniculiform arrays, branches divaricate to long-arching or ± ascending, slender, wiry, secund;
    usually sessile, sometimes peduncles 0.1–1 cm+, ± pilose, bracts 1–7, linear or subulate to oblong-lanceolate, foliaceous, grading into phyllaries.
    Involucres cylindro-campanulate, (3.5–) 4–6 (–7) mm.
    Phyllaries in 3–4 (–6) series, appressed or slightly spreading, oblong-lanceolate or -oblanceoalte (outer) to linear (inner), unequal, bases indurate 1/3–2/3, margins scarious, erose, hyaline or sometimes reddish, ± ciliolate, green zones lanceolate to ± diamond-shaped, apices (outer) acute, callus-pointed, (mid) acute to acuminate, or obtuse, sometimes purplish, abaxial faces glabrous (outer), mid sparsely puberulent.
    Ray-florets 8–15 (–23);
    corollas white, rarely pinkish or purplish, laminae (3–) 4–5 (–8) × 0.9–1.2 mm.
    Disc-florets 8–16 (–20);
    corollas cream to light yellow turning pink or reddish purple, (2.5–) 3–5 mm, tubes shorter than funnelform-campanulate throats, lobes strongly reflexed, lanceolate, 0.9–1.7 mm.
    Cypselae gray or tan, oblong-obovoid, sometimes ± compressed, (1.3–) 1.8–2.2 mm, 3–5-nerved, faces sparsely strigillose;
    pappi white to pinkish, 3–4 mm. 2n = 16, 32, 48.
