Treatment appears in FNA Volume 20. Treatment on page 550. Mentioned on page 546.

Perennials or biennials (possibly winter-annuals), 50–80 cm (caudices fibrous-rooted). Herbage glabrous. Stems usually single, sometimes loosely clustered. Leaves progressively reduced distally; petiolate; blades narrowly lanceolate to oblanceolate, 8–15 (–20+) × (0.5–) 1–3 (–4) cm, bases tapered, margins entire or dentate (mid and distal leaves sessile, bractlike). Heads nodding, (3–) 8–16 (–40+) in racemiform or paniculiform arrays. Calyculi of 2–6 lance-linear bractlets. Phyllaries usually ± 13, rarely ± 8, 5–9 mm, tips green. Ray-florets 0. Cypselae glabrous.


Phenology: Flowering summer–early autumn.
