--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> 5–60 cm (self-incompatible). <b>Stems</b> erect. <b>Leaves</b> mostly cauline; proximal opposite (often crowded), distal alternate; sessile; blades spatulate to linear, margins entire or toothed, faces hirsute to strigose (distal leaves sometimes stipitate-glandular as well). <b>Heads</b> radiate, in ± umbelliform arrays. <b>Peduncular</b> bracts: pit-glands, tack-glands, and/or spines 0. <b>Involucres</b> ± obconic or urceolate to globose, 3–5 mm diam. <b>Phyllaries</b> 2–12 in 1 series (lanceolate to lance-attenuate, herbaceous, each usually wholly enveloping a ray ovary, abaxially hirsute, hair tips ± uncinate). <b>Receptacles</b> flat to convex, glabrous or setulose, paleate (paleae falling, in 1 series between rays and discs, connate, herbaceous to ± scarious). <b>Ray</b> florets 2–12, pistillate, fertile; corollas yellow, sometimes purple-veined abaxially. <b>Disc</b> florets 1–65, functionally staminate; corollas yellow, tubes shorter than funnelform throats, lobes 5, deltate (anthers ± dark purple; styles glabrous proximal to branches). <b>Ray</b> cypselae compressed, clavate, arcuate, basal attachments oblique, faces glabrous, apices beaked. <b>Ray</b> pappi crowns of scales (0.1–1 mm); disc pappi of 5–7 (white or purple-tipped) subulate, crisped, ciliolate scales (2.5–3 mm). <b>x</b> = 8.</span><!--

--><p>Recognition of <i>Jensia</i> is based on evidence that <i>Madia</i> in the sense of D. D. Keck (1959) is not monophyletic; the epappose annuals constituting <i>Madia</i> in the restricted sense are more closely related to <i>Carlquistia</i> than to <i>Jensia</i> (B. G. Baldwin 1996).</p>
