    Stems usually 1, erect, simple or branched in distal 1/2, loosely to densely villous or viscid-pilose with jointed trichomes, often arachnoid below heads;
    branches 0–many, ascending.
    Leaves: blades oblong to elliptic or oblanceolate, 15–35 × 2–10 cm, flat to ± undulate, coarsely dentate to shallowly pinnatifid, lobes broadly triangular, spinulose to spiny-dentate or shallowly lobed, main spines slender, 3–7 mm, abaxial faces thinly gray-tomentose, villous along major veins, sometimes glabrescent, adaxial sparsely villous or viscid-pilose along midveins with jointed trichomes;
    basal often absent at flowering, spiny winged-petiolate;
    principal cauline well distributed, gradually reduced, proximal winged-petiolate, mid and distal sessile, bases clasping or short-decurrent;
    distal moderately to strongly reduced, often spinier than the proximal.
    Heads 1–many, ± erect, usually crowded in subcapitate to tight corymbiform arrays, closely subtended by clustered ± leafy bracts.
    Peduncles 0–1 (–30) cm.
    Involucres hemispheric to campanulate, 2.5–3.5 cm, 2.5–4 cm diam., loosely to densely arachnoid, phyllaries connected by long septate or non-septate trichomes.
    Phyllaries radiating in 5–10 series, subequal, green, linear-acicular, outermost margins sometimes spiny-fringed, otherwise all entire or minutely serrulate, abaxial faces without glutinous ridge;
    outer and mid-bases short-appressed, apices stiffly radiating to ascending, long, very narrow, spines straight, slender, 3–5 m;
    apices of inner straight, flat.
    Corollas white to pink or purple, very slender, 20–25 mm, tubes 10–17 mm, throats 4–5 mm, lobes filiform with knoblike tips, 3–5 mm;
    style tips 2–4 mm, included or exserted (only 1–2 mm beyond corolla lobes).
    Cypselae brown, 3–4.5 mm, apical collars stramineous, 0.2 mm;
    pappi 10–22 mm. 2n = 34.
