Perennials, 10–20(–30) cm; taprooted, caudices woody, branches rhizomelike. |
erect, sparsely to moderately hispidulous and minutely glandular, sometimes merely glandular. |
usually decumbent-ascending, sometimes nearly erect, sparsely to densely white-villous (hairs loose, thin, often crinkly) or sparsely hispido-pilose (hairs usually stiff, spreading, sometimes antrorsely ascending or appressed; var. viscidulus), usually densely minutely glandular at least distally, sometimes eglandular or obscurely glandular (var. viscidulus). |
