Information Plants 6–40 cm; proximal indument grayish, arachnoid to sparsely lanuginose. Stems mostly 1–5, erect to spreading; branches proximal and, often, distal. Leaves basal (often withering) and ± cauline, 1–6(–10) cm; largest blades ± 3-dimensional, scarcely succulent, usually 2-pinnately lobed; primary lobes 2–7 pairs, remote to ± congested, ultimate lobes ± involute and/or twisted. Heads mostly (1–)2–5 per stem. Peduncles 2–7(–9) cm. Involucres ± hemispheric to broadly cylindric. Phyllaries: longest 6–10 × 1.5–2.5 mm; outer glabrescent to sericeous and, often, ± glandular in fruit. Florets: inner corollas 4.5–7 mm. Cypselae 4–9 mm; pappi of (5–)8 scales in 2, abruptly unequal series, longest scales mostly 2–7 mm, lengths 0.4–0.9(–1) times corollas. 2n = 12.

Information Plants 6–60 cm; proximal indument grayish to whitish, arachnoid to densely lanuginose, or glabrescent. Stems mostly 1–5(–12; sometimes ± horizontal); branches proximal and, often, distal. Leaves basal (often withering) and cauline, 1–10 cm; largest blades linear or ± elliptic, plane to 3-dimensional, succulent or not, (0–)1–2-pinnately lobed; primary lobes 1–7 pairs, remote to ± congested, ultimate lobes ± plane, involute, twisted, and/or terete. Heads (± radiant) mostly 1–20+ per stem. Peduncles 1–20(–30) cm, distally stipitate-glandular, ± villous, arachnoid-sericeous, lanuginose, and/or glabrescent. Involucres ± hemispheric to obconic or broadly cylindric. Phyllaries: longest 4.5–10 mm; outer stipitate-glandular, ± villous, arachnoid-sericeous, lanuginose, and/or glabrescent in fruit, apices erect, blunt, ± rigid. Florets: corollas bright to dark yellow, 4–8 mm (inner); peripheral corollas spreading, ± zygomorphic, enlarged. Cypselae 3–9 mm (± terete); pappi of (1–)4 scales in 1 series, or of (5–)8 scales in 2, abruptly unequal series, longest scales (1–)2–8 mm. 2n = 12.

Information Annuals; proximal indument predominantly arachnoid, lanuginose, stipitate-glandular, or glabrescent, not farinose. Stems mostly 1–5(–12), usually erect to ascending; branches proximal and/or distal. Leaves: largest blades usually ± oblanceolate to elliptic or linear (± ovate in some C. macrantha), (0–)1–2-pinnately lobed, not gland-dotted (except C. macrantha). Heads discoid or ± radiant. Peduncles erect to ascending (by flowering). Phyllaries: outer usually ± blunt, sometimes acute. Florets: corollas white to pinkish, cream, or bright to dark yellow, actinomorphic and ± equal, or peripheral enlarged (and often zygomorphic). Cypselae ± terete (except C. nevii); pappi 0, coroniform (of ± 10 scales), or of (1–)4–8(–14) scales in 1 series, in 2, abruptly unequal series, or in 2–3, gradually unequal series. x = 6.

Information Plants 8–15(–35) cm; proximal indument whitish, ± densely lanuginose. Stems mostly 1–12, decumbent to erect; branches none or strictly proximal. Leaves ± basal (persistent), 2–10 cm; largest blades ± plane or terete, scarcely succulent, 0–1-pinnately lobed; lobes 1–2(–5) pairs, remote, ± plane to terete. Heads 1(–3) per stem. Peduncles 8–20(–30) cm. Involucres ± hemispheric to obconic. Phyllaries: longest 6–8 × 1–2 mm; outer ± densely lanuginose in fruit. Florets: inner corollas 5–6.5 mm. Cypselae 4–6 mm; pappi of 4 scales in 1 series, longest scales mostly 4–6 mm, lengths 0.8–0.9(–1) times corollas. 2n = 12.
