Herbs, erect, not scapose, 4–8(–15) × 1–4 dm, glabrous or villous. Stems erect, without persistent leaf bases, up to 1/5 height of plant; caudex stems absent; aerial flowering stems erect, slender to stout, solid or hollow, infrequently fistulose, 1.5–4(–8) dm, glabrous, tomen-tose, or villous. Leaves basal; petiole 5–25 cm, villous; blade lanceolate to lance-ovate, 4–15(–25) × 1.5–6 cm, loosely villous and green on both surfaces or infrequently thinly tomentose abaxially and glabrate adaxially, margins plane. Inflorescences cymose, 15–50 × 10–30 cm; branches glabrous or villous; bracts 3, semileaflike, linear, and 5–30 × 2–5 mm proximally, scalelike, triangular, and 1–4 mm distally. Peduncles absent or slender, erect, 0.5–4 cm, glabrous or tomentose. Involucres 1 per node or 2–5 per cluster, turbinate, (2.5–)3–4 × 2.5–3 mm, glabrous or slightly tomentose; teeth 5, erect, 0.4–0.9 mm. Flowers 2.5–4 mm, glabrous; perianth white; tepals connate proximal 1/4, monomorphic, obovate; stamens exserted, 2.5–4 mm; filaments pilose proximally. Achenes light brown, 3.5–4 mm, glabrous.
