Involucral bracts linear, the longest 4.5–9 mm long; ray florets mauve to white, ligules 2–3 mm long. Cypsela narrowly cuneate (sometimes slightly tapered just below summit), 3–5 mm long, flattened, marginal ribs glabrous (except sometimes immediately below summit), slightly thicker than facial ribs, facial ribs continuing to summit, faces with rather sparse, inclined simple hairs that are sometimes minutely notched, glands absent; pappus bristles barbellate, the longest 6–8.5 mm long.
