These plants are mainly shrubs and small trees,[5] the largest exceeding four meters in height.[6] The stems are spiny. The flower heads contain pink, red, or purple florets, including 8 to 13 hairy ray florets and usually either one or three disc florets. The ray floret yields a fruit with a plumelike pappus, and the fruit from a disc floret has a more "bristle-like contorted pappus".[5]
