Plants mostly rosette-forming, grayish. Stems decumbent to nearly erect, 0.5–4(–7) dm, hairs 1–3 mm proximally, glands absent or sparse distally. Basal leaves planar, 3–12 × 1–3(–4) cm, usually sericeous to villous, sometimes glabrate adaxially; stipules entire or rarely forked or pectinate; leaflets 2–5(or 6) per side, separate to slightly overlapping, elliptic to cuneate-oblong, (3–)5–20(–30) × 1.5–7(–10) mm, (1/4–)1/3–1/2 as wide as long, divided 1/10–1/6 or less to midrib into (0–)3(or 4) triangular teeth 1 mm wide, these restricted to apex. Cauline leaves 1–5; stipules 3–12 mm, entire or deeply 3–5-lobed, lanceolate to ovate. Inflorescences open to congested, flowers arranged in ± capitate glomerules or in ± corymbiform clusters. Pedicels (1–)2–6(–10) mm. Flowers 4–10 mm diam.; epicalyx bractlets linear to narrowly elliptic, 0.8–2(–3) × 0.2–0.4 mm, 1/2–2/3 length of sepals; hypanthium 1–2.5 × 2–5 mm, 1/2 to nearly as deep as wide, interior glabrous or pilose; sepals moderately reflexed, abaxially green to reddish, 1.5–3 mm; petals white, sometimes tinged with pink, linear to broadly oblanceolate, (1–)1.5–4(–4.5) × 0.3–1.5 mm, apex acute to rounded or mucronate; filaments 0.5–2 × 0.1–0.4(–0.8) mm, anthers 0.2–0.5 mm; carpels 5–15; styles 1–2.5 mm.
