Characteristics

Plants 20–75 cm. Corms globose to elongate-globose. Stems strigoso-puberulent.

Heads (2–20+) in open, cymiform arrays. Peduncles 20–70 mm (bracteate). Involucres cylindro-campanulate, 14–17 × 8–11 mm. Phyllaries in 5–7 series, broadly oblong-obovate (outer) to broadly oblong, strongly unequal, sparsely short-pilose, margins without hyaline borders, ciliolate, apices rounded, sometimes mucronate. Florets 20–25; corolla tubes glabrous inside. Cypselae 6–7 mm; pappi: lengths ± equaling corollas, bristles plumose.
