    Stems 1, erect (straight, stout), glabrous or hairy.
    Leaves thin, scabrous, apices mucronate, abaxial faces glabrous (vein areoles indistinct, elongate), adaxial glabrous or sparsely scabrous (var. hesperium);
    basal withering by flowering, petiolate to subpetiolate (petioles winged, ciliate, bases dilated, sheathing), blades elliptic-oblanceolate or obovate to suborbiculate, 10–80 × 5–20 mm, cuneate to attenuate, margins crenate-serrate, apices acute to obtuse or rounded;
    proximal cauline withering by flowering, sessile or subsessile, blades lanceovate or oblanceolate to linear-lanceolate, (40–) 50–150 × (3–) 10–20 (–35) mm, progressively reduced distally, bases cuneate, ± decurrent, margins serrate, apices acute to acuminate;
    distal sessile, blades oblanceolate to linear, 30–100 (–140) mm, only slightly reduced distally, bases cuneate, margins entire.
    Heads in ample or diffuse to narrow, elongate, leafy, paniculiform arrays, branches ± ascending, rarely secund, branch leaves often longer than pedicels.
    Peduncles 0.5–5 cm, ± pilose, bracts 1–3 (–5), linear-oblanceolate to lanceolate, foliaceous, ciliate.
    Involucres campanulate to cylindric, 3–8 mm.
    Phyllaries in (3–) 4–6 series, appressed or slightly spreading, linear-lanceolate to linear (innermost), sometimes slightly dilated distally, ± strongly unequal to subequal (var. hesperium), bases indurate 1/4–1/2, margins scarious, erose, hyaline, sparsely ciliolate, green zones lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, outer sometimes foliaceous (particularly var. hesperium), apices acute to acuminate (outer) or acuminate to caudate (inner), mostly mucronulate, abaxial faces glabrous, adaxial sparsely strigillose.
