Leaves oblanceolate or elliptic, 15–45 × 2–10 cm, unlobed and merely spinulose to dentate or deeply pinnatifid, lobes well separated, linear to triangular-ovate, merely spinulose to few toothed or lobed near base, margins often revolute, main spines 2–3(–6) mm, abaxial faces densely gray-tomentose, adaxial green, thinly tomentose or ± glabrate; basal often present at flowering, narrowly winged-petiolate; principal cauline well distributed, gradually reduced distally, bases of proximal cauline winged-petiolate or sessile, bases of distal cauline expanded and ± clasping, margins sometimes spinier than those of proximal; distalmost cauline becoming bractlike, often unlobed or less deeply divided than proximal. Heads borne singly and terminal on main stems and branches or few from distal axils in corymbiform or paniculiform arrays. Peduncles 1–8 cm. Involucres hemispheric to campanulate, 2.5–3.5 × 2–4 cm, glabrous or loosely floccose.
