Plants (5–) 17–44 (–78) cm, usually more than 13 cm. Leaves: basal and proximalmost cauline usually spatulate, rarely broadly elliptic, bases gradually attenuated to winged petioles, margins weakly crenate; cauline 5–16, (5–) 12.5–47 (–90) × (0.7–) 2–7 (–13) mm. Phyllaries: shortest 1–2.3 (–3.9) mm. Disc-florets: corollas (3.3–) 4–4.8 (–5.6) mm. 2n = 18.


Phenology: Flowering Jul–Sep (occasionally spring, British Columbia, Washington).
Habitat: Alpine slopes, rocky seepage slopes, montane forest meadows, rolling grasslands, dry prairies, coulee margins, rocky riverbanks and lakeshores, roadsides, disturbed areas
Elevation: 0–3000+ m
