Stems ascending to erect (1–60+), 9–40(–63) cm, moderately to densely hispido-strigose, abundantly long-hirsute, sparsely to densely stipitate-glandular. Distal cauline leaf blades (often perpendicluar to stems), linear to broadly oblong, (6–)10–24(–32) mm, ± reduced distally, bases rounded, margins flat, apices usually acute, often obtuse, faces moderately hispido-strigose (hairs 9–56/mm2 ), moderately to densely stipitate-glandular (glands 2–36/mm 2 ). Heads 2–20(–33) in usually congested, corymbiform arrays. Peduncles (4–)10–35(–48) mm, moderately to densely hispido-strigose, moderately to densely glandular; bracts 1–4, linear-oblong, reduced distally, not leaflike. Involucres cylindric to campanulate (fresh), (5.4–)6.4–8.4(–9) mm. Phyllaries narrowly triangular-lanceolate, margins sometimes reddish purple distally, faces sparsely to moderately strigose, sparsely to densely glandular. Ray florets 11–19(–22); laminae (3.5–)6.9–11(–12) mm. 2n = 18.
