Phyllaries persistent, (4–)5(–6) in 1–2 series (bright yellow, drying pale, with greenish yellow midribs ± keeled in life), erect, distinct, oblanceolate or lanceolate to lance-linear, equal, margins scarious (apices cucullate, faces glabrous). Receptacles flat (sometimes with central cusp), smooth, epaleate. Ray florets 0. Disc florets (4–)5(–6), bisexual, fertile; corollas yellow, tubes longer than throats, lobes 5, spreading, linear; style branches: stigmatic areas continuous, apices rounded-truncate (micro-characters tussilaginoid).
