Stems 1–4[–8], branches divaricate, rigid, spine-tipped, with conspicuous tufts of light brown, wool in axils of bud scales at and just below ground level, otherwise glabrous (bud scales lanceolate, 8–30 × 5–8 mm, entire). Leaves cauline; sessile; proximal blades linear, margins entire; distal bractlike. Heads (± subsessile, erect), borne singly or in paniculiform arrays. Peduncles not inflated, not bracteate. Calyculi of 4–6 bractlets (unequal, lengths to 1/2 phyllaries). Involucres cylindric, 2–3+ mm diam. Phyllaries 3–5 in ±1 series, linear-lanceolate. Receptacles flat or convex, smooth, glabrous, epaleate. Florets 3–5; corollas pink or lavender.
