Stems 0.
Leaves spreading to prostrate; blades 2-12 cm × 3-9(-12) mm, mostly lobed, lobes 2-3 pairs, abaxially glabrous, adaxially pubescent.
Peduncles 0-26 cm, lengths mostly less than 0.5 times leaves at flowering, 0.5-3 times leaves in fruit, ± glabrate, or apically tomentose.
Florets 15-30+; corollas ± equaling phyllaries at flowering, tubes 2-3 mm, ligules 2-3 × 0.8-1.5 mm; anthers ca. 1 mm. Flowering Mar-Jun. Mesic to dry habitats in deserts, grasslands, and oak woodlands; 1200-2000 m; Ariz., N.Mex. The relatively small corollas and anthers of var.
