--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Perennials,</b> 15–120 cm. <b>Stems</b> 1–12+, erect, branched from bases, throughout, or only among heads, strigoso-hirsute, gland-dotted. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline; alternate; petiolate (petioles relatively shorter distally); blades lanceolate to ovate or oblanceolate to obovate or oblong, pinnately lobed to 1–2-pinnatifid (lobes usually rounded), ultimate margins entire or serrate, faces usually strigoso-hirsute, usually gland-dotted. <b>Heads</b> radiate, borne singly or in loose, corymbiform arrays. <b>Involucres</b> ± rotate, 8–16 mm diam. <b>Phyllaries</b> persistent, 5–15 in 2 series (usually reflexed in fruit, unequal, outer longer). <b>Receptacles</b> subspheric to columnar, paleate (paleae conduplicate, linear to oblong-oblique, chartaceous proximally, herbaceous distally, apices truncate, usually densely strigose and gland-dotted, each margin usually with an adaxial resin gland; receptacles plus paleae and florets = discs, 5–70 × 5–18 mm). <b>Ray</b> florets 3–15+, neuter; corollas yellow, bicolor (maroon/yellow), or wholly maroon. <b>Disc</b> florets 50–400+, bisexual, fertile; corollas yellowish green, often purplish distally, tubes shorter than cylindric throats, lobes 5, obovate to triangular (gland-dotted and, sometimes, hairy abaxially). <b>Cypselae</b> (black) strongly compressed, linear-oblanceolate to oblong-oblique, margins (at least abaxial) usually ciliate or pectinate-fimbriate, apices truncate and, often, ciliate, faces glabrous or sparsely hairy; pappi of 1–2 toothlike projections, or coroniform, or 0. <b>x</b> = 16.</span><!--
