--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Subshrubs </b>(mat-forming), 2–12 cm; caudices woody, branched. <b>Stems</b> (5–20+) prostrate to erect (bark becoming dark brown to gray, flaky to fibrous when older; twigs, mostly ascending, whitish tan to purplish, mostly 1–4 cm), usually hairy, often stipitate-glandular. <b>Leaves</b> cauline; alternate; sessile; blades (often marcescent, crowded, appearing fasciculate, ascending to spreading) usually 1-nerved, linear to narrowly spatulate (bases ± clasping, often whitish), margins entire, scabrous (cilia spreading-ascendant, short; apices acute to obtuse, often minutely mucronate), faces glabrous or scabrous to villous, often stipitate-glandular. <b>Heads</b> radiate, borne singly. <b>Peduncles</b> 1–5 cm, usually hairy, often stipitate-glandular. <b>Involucres</b> campanulate to hemispheric, (5–10 ×) 7–15 mm. <b>Phyllaries</b> 10–18 in 2(–3) series, 1-nerved (rarely weakly 3- nerved; sometimes weakly keeled), outer linear or narrowly oblong to oblanceolate, inner narrowly oblanceolate, subequal, chartaceous proximally, herbaceous and pliable distally, margins scarious, abaxial faces sometimes sparsely hairy, stipitate-glandular. <b>Receptacles</b> convex, pitted, epaleate. <b>Ray</b> florets 5–11, pistillate, fertile; corollas yellow (laminae elliptic to oblong, 4.5–12 × 1.3–5.5 mm). <b>Disc</b> florets 9–27, bisexual, fertile; corollas yellow, tubes shorter than narrowly or broadly vase-shaped throats, lobes 5, erect to ascending, triangular to narrowly lanceolate; style-branch appendages triangular to narrowly lanceolate. <b>Cypselae</b> (tan to reddish brown) turbinate, slightly compressed, 8–10 ribbed, hairy; pappi persistent, of 30–50 whitish, barbellate, apically attenuate bristles in 1 series. <b>x</b> = 9.</span><!--
