Shrubs, 100–150 cm. Stems white to light gray or brown. Leaves whitish gray, blades narrowly elliptic to lanceolate, 2–8 × 0.3–1 cm, usually entire, sometimes irregularly lobed, densely silvery-canescent. Heads in (leafy) arrays 10–20 × 5–7 cm. Involucres broadly campanulate, 3–4 × 3–5 mm. Phyllaries broadly ovate (mostly obtuse), densely hairy. Florets 10–20. Cypselae 1–1.2 mm. 2n = 54.


Phenology: Flowering mid–late summer.
Habitat: Sandy loam soils, often along streams
Elevation: 1000–1500 m
