| Perennials, 4–20 cm; taprooted, caudices multicipital crowns or branches relatively short and thick. |
Perennials, 1.5–25 cm (becoming colonial); taprooted or fibrous-rooted, stoloniform branches persistent (1–3.5 cm), lignescent, bearing leaf tufts at tips, usually not retaining old leaf bases. |
erect to ascending or decumbent-prostrate, densely strigose (hairs relatively thin), eglandular. |
erect to ascending or decumbent, glabrous proximally, strigose on distal 1/2, minutely glandular near heads. |
