    Annuals, biennials, perennials, or subshrubs, 3–100 cm (taprooted, caudices woody, much branched [rhizomes]).
    Stems erect, spreading, or sprawling, often much branched, glabrous or hispid to hispidulous, villous, or stipitate-glandular (especially distally).
    Leaves: basal (sometimes persistent) and cauline;
    short-petiolate or sessile;
    blades 1-nerved, lanceolate to oblanceolate or spatulate (bases tapering to clasping), margins entire, serrate, dentate, pinnatifid, or 2-pinnatifid (apices of blades, lobes, and teeth apiculate to bristle-tipped, bristles 1–4 mm), faces usually glabrous, hispid, hispidulous, or villous, sometimes also stipitate-glandular.
    Heads radiate or discoid, borne singly or in corymbiform arrays.
    Involucres turbinate, campanulate, or hemispheric, (4–10 ×) 6–25 mm.
    Phyllaries 26–80+ in 2–8 series, appressed, spreading, or reflexed, 1-nerved (flat to rounded), linear to narrowly oblong or lanceolate, or enlarged distally into ovate to orbiculate or depressed-elliptic laminae, unequal, stiff, leathery, bases indurate, margins sometimes scarious, (apices herbaceous or achlorophyllous) faces hispid to hispidulous, villous, and/or stipitate-glandular.
    Receptacles flat to convex, pitted (pit borders usually laciniate or irregularly bristly, the teeth or setae 0.1–2+ mm), epaleate.
    Ray-florets 0 (in X. grindelioides and 2 Mexican taxa) or 12–60+, pistillate, fertile;
    corollas white, pink, red-purple, purple, or yellow.
    Disc-florets 15–200+, bisexual, fertile;
    corollas yellow, tubes length 1/4–1/3 ± funnelform throats (usually glabrous), lobes 5, spreading, triangular (glabrous or sparsely puberulent, hairs fine, antrorse);
    style-branch appendages lanceolate.
    Cypselae distinctly dimorphic (tan to redbrown or purple), ellipsoid to obovoid, oblong, or obscurely cordate, those of rays (if present) ± 3-sided, rounded abaxially, of disc compressed (thin or thick walled), 6–18-ribbed, faces silky (hairs antrorsely ascending to appressed);
    pappi persistent, of 30–90+ usually whitish to brown or reddish-brown, basally flattened (wider at overlapping bases), coarsely barbellate, apically attenuate bristles in 2–4 series.
