Receptacle convex-conical, paleate. Paleae canaliculate, narrowly spatulate, 3.5-7 mm long, apically 0.3-0.8 mm wide, apically and dorsally gland-dotted, acute. Ray-florets 7-15. Tube cylindrical, 1.5-3 mm long, glandular. Lamina elliptic, 1.5-3.5 mm long, 0.8-1.5 mm wide, 4-veined. Style 2.5-4.5 mm long; style-branches 1.2-2 mm long. Achenes triquetrous, oblong, 1.4-2.3 mm long, 0.4-0.7 mm wide, ± densely pilose; pappus as in disc-florets. Disc-florets 16-35, perfect. Corolla 3-4.8 mm long, 0.6-0.9 mm wide. Tube cylindrical, ± glandular. Limb narrowly cyathiform; corolla lobes 0.4-0.7 mm long, dorsally ± gland-dotted.
