    subpetiolate or sessile;
    blades spatulate to oblong or ovate (bases sheathing or clasping, often pinnately auriculate), (1–) 2–3-pinnately lobed (lobes linear, often curved distally), ultimate margins entire (± recurved), mucronate, faces glabrous or glabrate to sparsely hairy (hairs basifixed).
    Heads radiate or discoid, borne singly or in open, corymbiform arrays.
    Involucres patelliform, 4–14 mm diam.
    Phyllaries persistent, 25–50 in [2–] 3–4 [–5] series, distinct, oblong or ovate to spatulate or linear-spatulate (membranous, not carinate, bases not indurate), subequal, margins and apices (hyaline) scarious (apices rounded to obtuse).
    Receptacles conic to oblong-ovoid [subulate] (hollow), epaleate.
