Annuals (rarely persisting), 4–15 cm; glandular-pubescent, weakly tomentose, furfuraceous. Stems erect and spreading, much branched. Leaf-blades rounded-deltate to reniform, 4–18 × 6–26 mm, margins of some or all toothed. Peduncles 1–28 mm. Involucres turbinate, 6–9 mm. Phyllaries 13–19, outer falling or persistent, 5–6, lanceolate to lance-linear, tips erect, inner falling, 8–13, lance-linear, tips erect. Florets 10–21; corollas yellow, often purplish at tips, 4–5 mm. Cypselae 2–3 mm; pappi of 35–50, subequal bristles in 1 series, 1–4 mm. 2n = 34.
