leafy daisy, leafy fleabane
|
| Perennials, (8–)15–30(–40) cm; taprooted, caudices branched, retaining old leaf bases. |
Perennials, 20–100 cm; taprooted, woody, with caudexlike branches 2–15 cm, or leafy stems arising directly from roots; single plants usually bowl-shaped, with up to a 65 cm lateral spread. |
erect, densely gray-green to silvery-strigose (hairs white, closely appressed), eglandular. |
erect or ascending (often purple, distal branches stiff, spreading-ascending, without axillary leaf tufts), glabrous or sparsely strigose (hairs straight, ascending-appressed), sometimes minutely glandular distally. |
basal (persistent) and cauline (leaf bases broadened or not, not thickened and whitish-indurate); basal blades spatulate to oblanceolate or narrowly oblanceolate, (15–)20–50(–70) × 1–4(–6) mm, margins entire, faces silvery-strigose, eglandular; cauline blades linear to linear-oblanceolate, much reduced distally. |
cauline; blades 1-nerved (often sharply folding in narrower forms), filiform or linear to oblanceolate, 10–65 × 1–5(–10) mm, relatively even-sized (mid and distal longer than internodes), margins entire, ciliate (cilia ascending-appressed, thick-based), faces glabrous or sparsely strigose, eglandular. |
5.5–9 × (10–)12–22 mm. |
3.2–6.5 × 7–12(–14) mm. |
20–50(–75); corollas blue to lavender, less commonly pink or white, 9–15 mm, laminae coiling. |
15–60; corollas white to blue, 5–15 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
3.8–5.6 mm. |
3.5–5.5 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
in 3–4 series, silvery-strigose (hairs closely appressed), minutely glandular. |
in 3–5 series (outer: margins stramineous, with distal, greenish, rhomboid patches; inner: margins narrow, scarious), glabrous or moderately to densely strigoso-hirsute, sparsely and obscurely to densely and prominently minutely glandular. |
1. |
1 or 2–5 in loosely corymbiform arrays. |
(terete to slightly compressed) 2.8–3.4 mm, 6–8-nerved, faces strigoso-pilose; pappi: outer of setae or lanceolate scales, inner of 25–40 bristles. |
(1.8–)2.2–3 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 19–34 bristles. |
