Treatment appears in FNA Volume 21. Treatment on page 103. Mentioned on page 101.

Plants 20–40 (–60) cm. Basal leaves: blades narrowly oblong-lanceolate to lance-linear, 15–25 (–40) cm, margins entire or denticulate, faces glabrous (usually glanddotted and ± vernicose, the varnish, in age, becoming whitish and opaque); cauline leaves similar, smaller distally. Heads 2–4+ in racemiform to corymbiform arrays or borne singly. Involucres broadly hemispheric or campanulate, 10–20 (–30) mm diam. Phyllaries 14–18+, unequal to subequal, herbaceous, margins not ciliate, faces glabrous (glanddotted); outer 18–25+ mm (equaling or surpassing discs). Ray-florets 5–8+; laminae 18–30 mm. Cypselae 6–8 mm, glabrous.


Phenology: Flowering late May–early Jul.
Habitat: Grassy slopes, openings in forests
Elevation: 700–1500 m
