Stems decumbent to ascending-erect, (9–)16–33(–48) mm, sparsely to densely hispido-strigose, sparsely to abundantly long-hirsute, sparsely to densely stipitate-glandular. Distal cauline leaf blades usually narrowly to broadly oblanceolate or oblong, sometimes ovate (in mountains), (11–)16–28(–40) mm, ± reduced distally, bases usually narrowly to broadly convex-cuneate to attenuate, sometimes rounded, margins flat, sometimes remotely undulate, apices obtuse or acute, faces sparsely to moderately hispido-strigose, (1–75/mm 2 ), sparsely to moderately glandular (glands 1–32/mm2 ). Heads 1–13(–42) in congested to open, corymbiform arrays, branches usually not very long. Peduncles 4.5–40(–60) mm, moderately to densely hispido-strigose, usually sparsely to moderately stipitate-glandular rarely eglandular; bracts usually linear-oblong, reduced, rarely linear-lanceolate and leaflike, sparsely to moderately hispido-strigose, sparsely to moderately stipitate-glandular. Involucres cylindric to campanulate (fresh), (5.5–)6.5–8.5(–9.3) mm. Phyllaries narrowly triangular-lanceolate, faces usually sparsely, rarely densely strigose (hairs to 1 mm), usually sparsely to moderately stipitate-glandular, rarely eglandular. Ray florets (7–)10–18(–26), laminae (4–)6–10(–12.6) mm. 2n = 18, 36.
