Leaves cauline, bicolor (white and green); blades linear to lanceolate, 3–12 × 1 cm, margins usually entire, sometimes toothed or lobed, faces densely tomentose (abaxial) or glabrate (adaxial). Heads (peduncles 0 or to 2 mm) in mostly racemiform arrays 8–13 × 1–2 cm. Involucres campanulate, 4–5 × 4–5 mm. Phyllaries ovatelanceolate (margins hyaline), densely to sparsely tomentose. Florets: pistillate 3–10; bisexual 8–26; corollas pale-yellow, 1–2 mm, sparsely glandular. Cypselae ellipsoid, 0.5–0.8 mm, glabrous. 2n = 36.
