Perennials, 3–9+ cm; usually fibrous-rooted, sometimes rhizomatous (bases erect or ascending, branched). Stems 1 or 2–3, (white) woolly-tomentose. Basal leaves (and proximal cauline) petiolate; blades obovate to oblanceolate or spatulate, 10–20+ × 5–18 mm, bases tapering, margins entire or crenate (abaxial faces densely tomentose, adaxial glabrescent). Cauline leaves gradually reduced (becoming sessile and bractlike). Heads 1–4+, in corymbiform arrays. Peduncles ebracteate. Calyculi inconspicuous. Phyllaries purple-tinged, 7–10 mm, tomentose (ciliate distally, apices with dense tufts of hairs). Ray florets 0. Disc florets not seen. Cypselae not seen (reported to be glabrous).
Phenology: Flowering late Jul–late Sep.
Habitat: Ridges, spruce-fir communities, igneous soils
Elevation: 3300–3900 m
