SUMMARY
Montanoa karwinskii is a very graceful species having slender, ascending branches bearing relatively small, long -petioled leaves. The leaves are unique in the genus in having the base of the blade delimited by the two main lateral veins and a completely unwinged petiole. It is further distinguished by the mature pales, which are small (7.5-10.0 mm long) with a rounded apex and an apiculate tip that is shorter than the deep (2 mm) sinus. In addition, members of this species have small numbers of disc florets (23-34) and all the branches on the plant, including those of the synflorescence, are long and slender, giving the plants a delicate, open appearance.
