Inflorescences umbellate or cymose divided 1-3 times and 2-5(-8) cm, or capitate and 1-2 cm; branches tomentose to floccose. Involucres 1 per node or more commonly 3-7 per cluster, turbinate to turbinate-campanulate, (2-)2.5-4 × 1.5-3 mm, usually tomentose, occasionally thinly floccose or glabrous.
