Annuals, (5–)10–30(–50+) cm (taprooted). Herbage glabrous or sparsely tomentose. Stems usually single (erect), sometimes 2–6 (branching from bases, arching upward). Leaves (sometimes subsucculent) evenly distributed; ± petiolate (proximal); blades linear-lanceolate to lanceolate 2–5(–7+) × 0.5–2(–3+) cm, bases tapered, margins subpinnatifid to dentate or subentire (mid and distal leaves sessile, bases clasping). Heads usually 3–10(–20+) in open, cymiform arrays, sometimes borne singly (depauperate plants). Calyculi of 5–8+ lanceolate to lance-linear or filiform bractlets (0.5–3 mm, usually inconspicuous). Phyllaries ± 21 (sometimes fewer), 5–7(–8) mm, tips black. Ray florets ± 13; corolla laminae 8–11 mm. Cypselae hirtellous-strigose. 2n = 40.
