Perennials, 10–22(–27) cm, tap-rooted, caudices usually simple, rarely with branches to 20 cm. |
Perennials, 3–10 cm; taprooted, caudices sometimes multicipital, branches relatively short and thick, sometimes relatively long and slender. |
ascending to decumbent-ascending (usually basally purplish), sparsely to densely strigose (basal cells inclined, hairs even-width), eglandular. |
ascending to decumbent-ascending, glabrous, eglandular. |
basal (persistent) and cauline; blades (strongly to weakly 3-nerved) oblanceolate to spatulate-oblanceolate, 30–100 × (3–)5–12(–14) mm, cauline gradually reduced distally or not, usually continuing to near heads, margins entire, faces hirsuto-pilose to weakly pilose, eglandular. |
mostly basal (persistent); blades narrowly oblanceolate to spatulate (often folding), 15–60 × 1–5 mm, cauline abruptly reduced distally, margins entire, abaxial faces glabrous, adaxial sparsely strigose, eglandular. |

in 2–3(–4) series, (elliptic- to oblong-oblanceolate, abruptly acuminate), hirsuto-strigose to -pilose, densely villous at bases, usually eglandular, sometimes sparsely glandular. |
in 2–3 series (inner usually with purple margins), glabrous, minutely glandular. |
1(–4) (on peduncles 0.5–5 cm), held well beyond leaves at peak flowering, from branches near midstem (or slightly more distal). |
