    petiolate or sessile;
    blades (1–7-nerved) mostly cuneate, elliptic, lanceolate, linear, oblanceolate, or spatulate, margins entire, abaxial faces usually tomentose, adaxial glabrous or ± tomentose to sericeous or glabrescent.
    Heads discoid (unisexual), borne singly or in corymbiform, paniculiform, racemiform, or subcapitate arrays.
    Involucres: staminate campanulate to hemispheric, 2–6+ mm diam.;
    pistillate turbinate or campanulate to cylindric, 3–7 (–9+) mm diam.
