    blades simple or 1–2-pinnately lobed, ultimate margins entire or toothed, faces glabrous or hairy, usually ± glanddotted (often in pits).
    Heads radiate [discoid], borne singly or in paniculiform to corymbiform arrays.
    Involucres subhemispheric, hemispheric, globoid, campanulate, or urceolate, (2.5–) 6–32 mm diam.
    Phyllaries persistent (or inner falling), usually (6–) 16–30 (–40) in 2 series and unequal, sometimes 28–50 in 2–3 series and subequal (usually spreading to erect in fruit).
    Receptacles usually hemispheric, globoid, ovoid, or conic (flat in H. ambigens), smooth or pitted, epaleate.
    Ray-florets usually (3–) 8–13 (–16), sometimes 14–34 [0], pistillate, fertile;
    corollas (usually withering after flowering, falling early or tardily) yellow or yellow-orange to orange (laminae fan-shaped, lobes 3–5).
    Disc-florets usually 25–150 (–400+), usually bisexual and fertile (6–15, functionally staminate in H. ambigens);
    corollas yellow to yellowbrown proximally, yellow distally, tubes shorter than cylindric to cylindric-campanulate throats, lobes 5, ± deltate.
