Herbs, 4–10 dm. Roots: tubers fusiform. Stems with glistening stipitate-glandular hairs and hirsute (hairs stiff, sparse to scattered, erect, 1–2 mm).

Inflorescences: axes glistening with sessile-glandular hairs and ± ascending-hirsute (hairs stiff, sparse to scattered, 0.5–1 mm). Flowers ± alternate. Fruiting hypanthia hemispheric, 1–3.1 × 1.8–3.9 mm, obscurely sulcate, hooked bristles in 2–3 circumferential rows, proximal row spreading to ± 90°, usually glistening with sessile-glandular hairs.
