Type species: Oedera virgata (N.E.Brown) N.G.Bergh. ( Comborhiza virgata (N.E.Brown) Anderberg & K.Bremer )

Description: woody shrublets or subshrubs, two of the species resprouting from a subterranean rootstock. Leaves crowded on branches, alternate or fasciculate on lateral brachyblasts, entire, somewhat fleshy, with distinct midrib, both surfaces densely invested with glandular trichomes on elongate slender stalks. Capitula broad, solitary, sessile and axillary or on long peduncles or pedunculoid stems, sometimes flowering branches highly ramified to produce a racemose or cymose synflorescence. Receptacle epaleate, sometimes also shortly squamose. Ray florets 10–25; disc florets 25–125, perfect or possibly functionally male in one species (Oe. longipes ). Pappus of short more-or-less connate scales only (Oe. virgata ), or of scales and a few outer additional barbellate bristles on the disc florets. Cypselas glabrous to pilose, more densely pilose on ray cypselas.

Cytology: 2n = 14 ( Oedera virgata ; Bremer, 1976a).
