    Annuals, biennials, perennials, or subshrubs, (2–) 5–70 (–200) cm (taprooted).
    Stems erect to prostrate, usually branched.
    usually petiolate;
    blades deltate, elliptic, linear, oblanceolate, or ovate (plane or ± 3-dimensional), (0–) 1–4-pinnately (rarely -subpalmately) lobed, ultimate margins entire, faces glabrous or hairy, often stipitate-glandular or glanddotted.
    Heads discoid or ± radiant, borne singly or in (terminal) ± cymiform arrays (erect in bud except C. macrantha).
    Involucres hemispheric to obconic or broadly cylindric, (3–) 5–15 [–25] mm diam.
    Phyllaries 5–21+ in 1–2 (–3) series (subequal to unequal).
    Receptacles convex to ± flat, pitted and/or knobby, usually epaleate (paleae 3–10+ in C. carphoclinia).
    Ray-florets 0 (sometimes simulated by enlarged peripheral disc corollas).
    Disc-florets 8–70+, bisexual, fertile (diurnal with anthers exserted except in C. macrantha);
    corollas white, pinkish, cream, or yellow, tubes shorter than cylindric or funnelform throats, lobes 5, deltate to ± lanceolate (sometimes enlarged, unequal; style-branch appendages blunt, obscure).
    Cypselae clavate to ± cylindric or compressed, obscurely 8–20-angled, faces scabrous and strigose to densely sericeous (usually eglandular);
    pappi usually persistent, of (1–) 4–20, distinct, ± erose scales in 1–4 series (equal or unequal, outer then shorter, scales usually fewer and/or shorter on peripheral cypselae, midnerves obscure), sometimes 0 or coroniform.
    (n = 6, 8, plus polyploids and dysploid numbers).
