simple or few to several from base, erect, (unbranched, slender), 0.2–1(–1.5) dm.

few to several from base, ascending or prostrate, (arising laterally, also from within basal leaves, usually unbranched, rarely branched), 0.5–3(–6) dm.

(densely tufted, not rosulate, reflexed in age);

blade obovate to oblanceolate, 0.7–2(–3) cm, margins usually entire, sometimes repand or shallowly dentate, (apex acute).

blade narrowly oblanceolate or broadly elliptic, 1–7(–12) cm, margins entire or shallowly toothed, sometimes repand, (inner blades usually flattened in age, surfaces often gray-green, scabrous).

similar to basal, becoming narrower distally, somewhat reflexed, (distal) blade linear or narrowly oblanceolate, 0.5–2.5(–5.5) cm.

(usually secund);

blade spatulate or obovate, 1–2.5(–4.5) cm, margins entire or shallowly toothed, (flat or involute).

dense, often subcorymbiform.

somewhat crowded (to moderately elongated in fruit, exceeding basal leaves).

sepals (green or greenish yellow), ovate or broadly ovate, 3.5–6.5 mm, (lateral pair subsaccate, cucullate, median pair thickened, slightly cucullate apically);

petals (spreading), oblanceolate to obovate, 5.5–8(–10) mm, (claw erect).

sepals broadly elliptic or oblong, 4–7.5(–9) mm, (median pair thickened apically, cucullate);

petals cuneate or obovate, 7–10(–16) mm, (tapering gradually to broad claw).

(erect or divaricate-spreading, straight or slightly curved), (3–)5–10(–15) mm.

(often divaricate-spreading and straight, or horizontal and loosely sigmoid, sometimes slightly recurved), 5–15 mm.

(sessile or substipitate), suborbicular to ovoid or ellipsoid, slightly inflated, 4–7 mm;

valves pubescent outside, trichomes substipitate, spreading, sometimes sparsely pubescent inside, trichomes sessile, smooth;

ovules 4–10(–16) per ovary;

style (0.5–)1–2(–4) mm (shorter than fruit).

subglobose to ovoid or ellipsoid, sometimes compressed, (4–)5–7(–9) mm;

valves sparsely pubescent, trichomes appressed or erect, sometimes sparsely pubescent inside;

ovules (8–)12–16(–20) per ovary;

style 2–7 mm.
