Annual or perennial herb, sprawling or ascending but with erect inflorescences, 15–50 cm tall; stems scabrid-pilose, rooting at the nodes.. Leaves petiolate, narrowly ovate or ovate, often slightly 3-lobed, 2–7(–12) cm long, 1–4(–6) cm wide, base cuneate, margins coarsely dentate to incised-dentate, apex acute to acuminate, scabrid on both surfaces; petiole 4–30 mm long.. Capitula solitary and terminal, urn-shaped; stalks of individual capitula 7–25 cm long; involucre 7–8 mm long; phyllaries in 2–3 series, green, ovate and pilose; paleae linear, 6–8 mm long, pilose near apex.. Ray florets 2–6, white, cream or pale yellow, tube 3.5 mm long, pilose near apex, ray ovate, 2.5–5 mm long, 3-dentate at apex; disc florets forming a cone, yellow, 5–7 mm long, puberulous near base.. Achenes narrowly obovoid, black, 2–2.5 mm long, hairy; pappus of many unequal plumose bristles 2.5–3 mm long in marginal florets, 4–7.5 mm long in central florets.. Fig. 164 (page 765).
