| Perennials, 20–70(–90) cm; taprooted, woody. |
Perennials (often short-lived), 10–30 cm; taprooted, caudices woody, simple (stems and leaves arising from near roots). |
basally decumbent, abruptly erect, usually glabrous or glabrate, rarely sparsely strigose on proximal 1/2, or hirsutulous proximally and strigose distally, or distally densely hirsutulous (hairs usually ± deflexed, sometimes loosely antrorsely ascending; var. keilii), eglandular. |
erect (brittle, often subintricately branched), hispidulous (hairs sometimes downcurved or deflexed), eglandular. |
cauline; blades narrowly oblong-oblanceolate to linear, 20–60 × 2–7 mm, seldom reduced distally, margins entire, faces glabrous, sparsely strigose, or hispid, eglandular. |
mostly cauline (basal abruptly withering); proximal cauline blades usually linear-oblong, rarely oblanceolate to obovate, 4–10(–20) × 2–6 mm, reduced distally, margins entire, faces hispid, minutely glandular. |
4.5–6.5 × 7–12 mm. |
4–5 × 6–8 mm. |
|
20–40(–50); corollas white to pink or purplish, without abaxial midstripe, 5–9 mm, laminae not coiling or reflexing. |

3.8–4.5 mm (throats slightly indurate, not inflated). |
3.5–4 mm (throats slightly white-indurate and inflated). |
in 3–5 series (margins broad, stramineous, midveins orange, thin), glabrous, usually eglandular, rarely minutely glandular. |
in (2–)3–4 series, glabrous or outer sparsely hispid, minutely glandular. |
(discoid) (1–)2–15 in corymbiform arrays. |
1(–3) per main branch, (–20–30 in later season on wiry, brittle branches). |
2–3 mm, 2-nerved, faces glabrous; pappi: outer of setae, inner of 28–45 bristles. |
1.5–1.9 mm, 2-nerved, faces sparsely strigose; pappi: outer of scales, inner of 15–18(–23) bristles. |
