--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> 1–6 cm (low-growing, densely cespitose, herbage glabrous); taprooted. <b>Stems</b> 1–25+, ± prostrate, simple or branched, glabrous. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline, crowded; petiolate or sessile; basal blades ± oblanceolate, margins dentate or pinnately lobed and crustose-denticulate, cauline progressively reduced to oblanceolate, crustose-denticulate bracts. <b>Heads</b> (1–3) borne singly or 2–3 in bract axils. <b>Peduncles</b> not distally inflated, often bracteate. <b>Calyculi</b> of 5–8, linear to oblanceolate bractlets in ± 1 series, apices expanded, crustose-denticulate. <b>Involucres</b> cylindric to urceolate, 3–8+ mm diam. <b>Phyllaries</b> 5–8+ in 1–2 series, commonly purplish-tinged, linear, equal, margins scarious, apices acute. <b>Receptacles</b> ± flat, smooth, glabrous, epaleate. <b>Florets</b> 7–18; corollas white to pale yellow, becoming pink-purple (especially when dry). <b>Cypselae</b> straw-colored or light brown, subcylindric or slightly flattened, often curved, abruptly beaked, obtusely 4–5-angled, ribs transversely roughened, alternating with 5 rows of pits, glabrous or minutely puberulent; pappi falling (outer, individually) or ± persistent (inner, connate at bases in easily fractured rings), of 50–80+, white, barbellulate to smooth bristles in 3–4+ series. <b>x</b> = 9.</span><!--

--><p>A molecular phylogenetic investigation by J. Lee et. al (2003) provided evidence that <i>Glyptopleura</i> is part of a primarily western North American radiation in Cichorieae. That study did not resolve the relationship of <i>Glyptopleura</i> to other genera within the radiation.</p>
