--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> 6–40 cm; taprooted. <b>Stems</b> erect to decumbent-ascending, loosely arachnose-tomentose. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline, basal usually withering before flowering, blades spatulate to oblanceolate, narrowly lanceolate, linear-oblanceolate, or linear, 2–3(–4) cm × 2–3.5(–5) mm (distal rarely folded along midveins), faces concolor, loosely tomentose. <b>Heads</b> initially in uninterrupted, cylindro-spiciform arrays (1–)3–4(–10) cm × 8–12 mm (pressed), usually becoming glomerulate-interrupted in late flowering (equally leafy-bracted throughout, bracts linear to narrowly lanceolate, smaller distally). <b>Involucres</b> campanulate, 2.5–3 mm, bases sparsely arachnose. <b>Phyllaries</b> in 3–4(–5) series, outer ovate-lanceolate, lengths 1/2–2/3 inner, apices (sometimes purplish-tinged) narrowly to broadly acute, inner usually purple (immediately beyond stereome and along proximal margins), oblong, laminae usually purple (at stereome and along proximal margins), apices (whitish, tinged with brown) rounded-obtuse. <b>Florets</b>: bisexual 3–5; all corollas usually purple distally. <b>Cypselae</b> (tan) 0.4–0.5 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Gamochaeta antillana</i> and <i>G. calviceps</i> have been combined in concept and often misidentified as <i>Gamochaeta</i> falcata (Lamarck) Cabrera; the latter name applies to a South American species that has not been recorded from the flora area. <i>Gamochaeta</i> subfalcata, which has been attributed to the United States (e.g., S. E. Freire and L. Iharlegui 1997), almost certainly applies to the same species as <i>G. antillana</i>.</p>
