Hoffmannseggia glauca is a perennial with stems branched from the base. The flower heads
are ascending while the leaves are more prostrate. The inflorescence is very obviously glandular. The undersurface of the leaflets have sparse hairs and no orange or blackish gland spots as in a similar species, Pomaria jamesii.
Hoffmannseggia glauca is most common on waste ground and roadsides in lower to middle elevation in
the Gila National Forest.
