Herbs, mostly prostrate, compact mats, 1–2.5 × 2–5 dm. Aerial flowering stems erect, 0.7–1.5(–2) dm, thinly floccose or glabrous, without one or more leaflike bracts ca. midlength. Leaves in loose rosettes; blade usually elliptic, (0.5–)1–2 × (0.4–)0.5–1.5 cm, glabrous on both surfaces except for fringed, pubescent margins and veins, margins plane, pubescent. Inflorescences umbellate; branches 1–2(–3) cm, without a whorl of bracts ca. midlength; involucral tubes 2–4 mm, lobes 2–4 mm. Flowers 4–6 mm; perianth bright yellow.
Phenology: Flowering Jun–Sep.
Habitat: Gravelly to rocky slopes and ridges, high-elevation sagebrush communities, montane to subalpine conifer woodlands
Elevation: (900-)1200-2100 m
Discussion
