Annuals, biennials, or short-lived perennials. Stems 1+, ascending to erect, canescent, sometimes sparsely stipitate-glandular; branches ascending (curved, flexible). Mid leaf-blades lanceolate to oblanceolate. Peduncles equaling or longer than involucres. Involucres narrowly to broadly turbinate, 6–10 mm. Phyllaries in 3–5 (–7) series, appressed, spreading, or reflexed, apices often canescent, stipitate-glandular. Ray-florets sterile or 0. Cypselae sparsely appressed-hairy. 2n = 8.
