:—The most common natural habitats include low-coverage alpine and subalpine grasslands, often under the influence of grazing or trampling, preferably along brooks and alpine lake shores. Members of this section do not avoid synanthropic alpine sites, such as vicinity of alpine huts and chalets, along tourist tracks, either. They grow on both acidic and alcalic substrates.

It has orange-coloured ligules or their distal parts, and its achenes are light greyish olivaceous-brown or light greyish stramineous-brown, very sparsely tuberculate or sparsely minutely spinulose above, with a very gradual transition into a ± conical to subconical cone; its beak is slightly thickened, not longer than the achene.
