basalt fleabane
|
| Perennials, 15–60 cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices or primary rhizomes slender, simple or branched, usually producing slender, herbaceous, scale-leaved stolons bearing terminal leaf tufts. |
Perennials, 7–25 cm; taprooted, caudices branched. |
erect to ascending, usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely hirsuto-pilose proximal to heads, densely minutely glandular to nearly eglandular. |
sprawling or pendent (branched), hirsute, minutely glandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; basal blades spatulate to elliptic-spatulate (to oblanceolate-obovate), 30–150 × 9–35 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (bases usually clasping to subclasping), margins entire or serrulate to mucronulate with 3–5 pairs of teeth, faces glabrous, distal often glandular. |
cauline; blades cuneate to obovate, 150–400 × 10–20 mm, nearly even-sized to near heads, margins 3-lobed or -dentate (lobes sometimes with shallow secondary lobes or teeth, much narrower than central portion of blades, usually acute), faces hirsute, minutely glandular. |
7–9 × 11–19 mm. |
5–6 × 8–12 mm. |
40–80; corollas white to bluish or lavender, 12–20 mm, laminae coiling. |
22–30; corollas white, drying pink to pinkish purple, 5–7 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
(3.6–)4–5.8 mm. |
3–4 mm. |
in 3–4 series (often purplish), usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely villous at bases, minutely glandular. |
in 2–3 series, usually densely villoso-hirsute, densely minutely glandular. |
1–5(–15). |
1–4 (from medial or distal branches). |
1.8–2.5 mm, 2(–4)-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |
