    Stems decumbent to erect, branched from bases and/or distally, glabrate, glabrous, hispidulous, pilose, piloso-hirsute, piloso-strigose, scabrellous, sericeous, strigillose, strigoso-scabrellous, strigose, or villous.
    ± petiolate (petioles grading into blades);
    blades 1-nerved, mostly spatulate to oblanceolate, lanceolate, or linear, margins usually entire, rarely toothed or lobed, faces glabrous, glabrate, pilose, scabrellous, sericeous, strigose, strigillose, or villous, abaxial often gland-dotted.
    Heads radiate, borne singly (± sessile among rosette leaves, or at ends of leafy stems, or on scapiform peduncles).
    Involucres campanulate to hemispheric or broader, 4–25 (–35+) mm diam.
    Phyllaries persistent, (16–) 20–60 (–80+) in [2–] 3–7+ series, 1-nerved (± flat, not notably keeled), usually ± lanceolate or ovate, sometimes filiform, lance-linear, lanceovate, linear, obovate, oblanceolate, or subulate, unequal (outer shorter), herbaceous, margins ± scarious (often finely erose to fimbrillate), abaxial faces usually strigose to strigillose, sometimes glabrate, glabrous, glandular-puberulent, piloso-strigose, pilose, or villous.
    Receptacles usually flat or convex (conic in T. formosa), smooth or pitted (hairy or glabrous), epaleate.
    Ray-florets (4–) 13–34 (–67+), pistillate, fertile;
    corollas usually white, pink, bluish, or lavender (yellow in T. aprica).
    Disc-florets (16–) 30–100 (–200+), bisexual, fertile;
    corollas yellow (sometimes tinged with cyan), tubes shorter than cylindro-funnelform throats, lobes 5, usually erect, sometimes spreading, lance-deltate to lance-oblong;
    style-branch appendages lance-deltate to attenuate.
    Cypselae (± stramineous) ± flattened, obovate to oblanceolate, 2 (–3) -nerved, faces glabrate or hairy (hair tips entire, forked, or glochidiform);
    pappi persistent or readily falling, of 12–35+, ± lanceolate or subulate to setiform scales (= flattened bristles of some authors; often less well developed on ray cypselae).
