Capitula heterogamous, radiate or disciform, solitary, few together, or in dense terminal corymbs. Receptacle epaleate, with scalelike ridges. Marginal florets female; corolla yellow to white, radiate to miniradiate; epidermis not crested. Disk florets bisexual; corolla yellow or whitish; epidermis with straight cell walls, without needlelike crystals; corolla lobes short, smooth. Anthers ecalcarate, with branched tails; apical appendix truncate and almost emarginate; endothecial tissue polarized. Cells of antheropodium longer than wide. Pollen spines with a cavity. Style branches with acute sweeping hairs not reaching furcation. Achenes ellipsoid, hairy; epidermis with elongated crystals. Pappus of barbellate, capillary bristles in 1 row. x = (9 or)10.

About 15 species: C, E, and SE Asia; seven species (two endemic) in China.
