several from base, decumbent to ascending, (unbranched), 0.5–1.5 dm.

few from base, erect, (stout), to 1.5 dm (sometimes greatly reduced).

(petiole slender);

blade obovate, 3–5 cm (width 10–20 mm, base tapering abruptly to petiole), margins entire, (apex rarely slightly acute).

blade suborbicular to rhombic or broadly elliptic, 1–4.5 cm, margins entire, (apex rounded to subacute).

blade oblanceolate, 0.5–1.5 cm (width 3–5 mm), margins entire.

(proximal petiolate, distal subsessile);

blade elliptic, 1–4 cm, (distal narrower), margins entire or remotely dentate.

subcorymbose.

condensed, (subcorymbose to subumbellate, few-flowered).

sepals oblong, 8–10 mm;

petals spatulate, 12–14 mm.
