    Stems erect to ascending, usually branched, glabrous or papillate-scabrous to minutely hispidulous or scabro-hirtellous.
    sessile or petiolate (decurrent);
    blades (1–5-nerved) linear to lanceolate or spatulate, margins entire (sometimes scabroso-ciliate), faces glabrous or minutely hairy, gland-dotted (sometimes obscurely), resinous.
    Heads radiate, borne singly or (3–6) in clusters or glomerules.
    Involucres cylindric to campanulate, (2–11.5 ×) 0.8–7.5 mm.
    Phyllaries 4–40 in 2–4 series (stramineous), 1-nerved or 3-nerved, (sometimes strongly convex or keeled), ovate to lanceolate, unequal, bases white-indurate, margins narrowly scarious, abaxial faces glabrous or sparsely hispidulous or hirtellous.
    Receptacles flat to conic, pitted (hairy, hairs 1-seriate, swollen, apically hooked), epaleate.

    Cypselae (light tan to purplish black) clavate or cylindric, not compressed, 5–8-nerved, hairy (glabrous in G. wrightii; hairs white, usually arising primarily from between ribs, appearing to occur in longitudinal lines, usually obscuring faces, apices acute or blunt with terminal cells slightly divergent, or clavate to bulbous);
