| 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, 6–20 cm; apparently taprooted (often not evident or not collected), rhizomes relatively slender, woody fibrous-rooted or rhizomelike caudex branches. |
erect to ascending, usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely hirsuto-pilose proximal to heads, densely minutely glandular to nearly eglandular. |
prostrate to decumbent-trailing, less commonly ascending-erect (without axillary leaf tufts), sparsely to moderately strigose, eglandular. |
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 narrowly lanceolate to oblong, 5–20 × 1–2 mm, relatively even-sized, margins entire, faces strigose, eglandular. |
7–9 × 11–19 mm. |
3.5–5 × 7–10 mm. |
40–80; corollas white to bluish or lavender, 12–20 mm, laminae coiling. |
12–21; corollas white, drying bluish, 5–6 mm, laminae coiling. |
(3.6–)4–5.8 mm. |
3.5–4 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
in 3–4 series (often purplish), usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely villous at bases, minutely glandular. |
in 3–5 series (often purple-tipped; margins of inner narrowly scarious), glabrous, minutely glandular. |
1–5(–15). |
1 or 2–3. |
