178. Crépis L. View in CoL 1

Annual to perennial herbs. Stems 1 to many, usually branched. Leaves subentire to pinnatisect or loped. Capitula 1-numerous. Involucral bracts in 2 rows, the outer up to | (rarely |) as long as the inner. Receptacle flat or convex, usually pitted, the raised margins of the pits often ciliate, rarely also with 1 or 2 rigid hairs or narrow, membranous scales between the florets. Ligules usually yellow (sometimes with a red stripe on the outer face), sometimes orange, pink, white or parti-coloured. Achenes yellowish to black, uniform or of 2 or 3 kinds, with 4-35 ribs or striae, usually narrowed towards apex, sometimes beaked; pappus of 1-many rows of usually white and soft, sometimes greyish or yellow and brittle hairs.
