    Stems usually 1, usually erect [prostrate], branched [immediately proximal to sessile, terminal heads], puberulent or villous to arachnose (hairs basifixed), glabrescent.
    Leaves mostly cauline;
    petiolate (proximal) or sessile (distal);
    blades obovate or spatulate to oblong or linear, 1–2 (–3) -pinnately lobed (ultimate lobes ± linear to filiform), ultimate margins entire or dentate, faces villous to arachnose, glabrescent.
    Heads radiate, borne singly or in lax, corymbiform arrays.
    Involucres hemispheric or broader, 5–8 [–12+] mm diam.
    Phyllaries persistent, 16–24+ in 2–3+ series, lance-linear or lanceolate to oblong or obovate, subequal, margins and apices (hyaline) scarious (apices ± dilated, rounded, abaxial faces ± villous or arachnose, glabrescent).
    Receptacles hemispheric to narrowly columnar or conic, paleate;
    paleae ± folded (carinate, each with central, redbrown resin duct).
    Ray-florets 12–18+, neuter or styliferous and sterile;
    corollas orange, yellow, or white with yellow bases, laminae ± oblong (spreading to reflexed, ± marcescent).
    Disc-florets 40–150 [–200+], bisexual, fertile;
    corollas orange or yellow, tubes ± cylindric (bases saccate, each obliquely spurred, adaxially clasping distal 0.5+ of cypsela), throats campanulate to funnelform, lobes 5, deltate (apices minutely crested or dilated).
    Cypselae ± obovoid (apices oblique), weakly flattened (stylopodia sublateral), ribs or nerves (weak): 2 lateral, 1 adaxial, faces finely striate, glabrous [hairy] (pericarps with myxogenic cells in longitudinal rows, without resin sacs);
