mostly simple.
usually simple, rarely branched.
3–8 pairs, mostly crowded toward bases; petiolate (at least proximal);
blades elliptic to oblanceolate or obovate, 5–10 × 0.5–3.5 cm, margins entire, apices acute, faces densely hairy (hairs relatively short, curly) and sessile-glandular (distal leaves sessile, much reduced).
3–7 pairs, mostly cauline; petiolate (petioles, at least proximal, relatively narrow, ± equaling blades);
blades narrowly to broadly lanceolate or ovate, 3.5–14 × 0.5–3.7 cm, margins regularly dentate or denticulate, apices acute, faces glabrous or moderately pilose, sparsely to densely stipitate-glandular.
campanulate to hemispheric.
campanulate-turbinate.

Arnica dealbata
Arnica lonchophylla
Although Arnica dealbata lacks pappi, morphologic, cytologic, and molecular data (B. G. Baldwin and B. L. Wessa 2000; Baldwin et al. 2002) clearly support its inclusion in Arnica.
