Biennials or short-lived perennials. Stems, branches, and peduncles sometimes puberulent or canescent, stipitate-glandular. Leaf blades lanceolate to oblanceolate (linear to linear-oblanceolate in var. mucronata), mid 20–80 × (2–)5–15 mm, margins entire to irregularly dentate or serrate, faces glabrous or puberulent, often sparsely stipitate-glandular; distal bases usually cordate to auriculate, clasping. Involucres broadly turbinate to hemispheric. Phyllaries in 5–10 series, spreading to reflexed, apices long-acuminate, 2–6 mm, herbaceous (acute to acuminate, 1–3 mm in var. commixta), faces stipitate-glandular. Receptacles 4–9 mm diam. Ray florets pistillate, fertile; laminae blue to purple, 10–25 × 1–2 mm. Disc corollas 5–7(–8) mm. Cypselae sparsely appressed-hairy.
