Involucres broadly turbinate to obconic, 4–7 mm diam. Phyllary apices flat, ± swollen. Ray florets (4–)5–10; corollas yellow, 5–8(–10) mm. Disc florets 15–23 (bisexual and fertile or functionally staminate). Cypselae 1.5–3(–3.5) mm, faces without oil cavities, loosely strigose (hair apices acute); pappi of 1–2 series of scales (0.5–)1–2.2 mm. 2n = 8.
