| Perennials, 5–55(–70) cm; rhizomatous, fibrous-rooted, caudices usually simple, thick. |
Annuals, 15–40 cm; slenderly taprooted. |
erect to ascending, hirsute or hirsuto-villous to densely strigillose (hairs loosely appressed, slightly crinkled), eglandular. |
initially erect, later ascending to decumbent (herbaceous), proximally spreading- to deflexed-villous, closely to loosely strigose on distal 1/3–1/2, eglandular. |
basal (usually persistent) and cauline; basal blades linear-oblanceolate to broadly lanceolate or spatulate, (20–)30–160(–200) × 7–45 mm; cauline gradually reduced distally (bases distinctly subclasping, except when greatly reduced), margins entire, faces glabrous or glabrate, hirsute, or villous to sparsely villosulous, eglandular. |
basal (often drying translucent, often withering by flowering) and cauline; basal (thin) blades oblanceolate to obovate or spatulate, 10–80(–140) × 5–34 mm, cauline slightly or gradually reduced to distal 1/3 of stems (bases clasping), margins usually with 1–4 pairs of teeth or lobes, sometimes entire, faces sparsely short-hirsute to hirsuto-villous, eglandular. |
6–9(–12) × 10–22(–25) mm. |
2.5–3 × 5–10 mm. |
30–80; corollas usually blue to rose purple or pink, sometimes white to pale blue, 8–16(–25) mm (mostly 1.5–3 mm wide), laminae coiling. |
95–160(–250); corollas white to bluish, 2.5–4 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |
3.8–6 mm. |
1.7–2 mm. |
in 2–3(–4) series (faces and margins) usually glabrous, rarely sparsely villous (cross walls not colored), densely and evenly stipitate-glandular. |
in 2–4 series, hirsute to sparsely villous, minutely glandular. |
1(–8). |
(1–)3–10(–20) in diffuse arrays (branches from distal 2/3). |
2.5–2.8 mm, (4–)5(–7)-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 20–30 bristles. |
0.6–0.8 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 10–13(–15) bristles. |
