simple from base, decumbent to nearly prostrate, 0.5–1.3 dm.

several from base, prostrate, (slender, sparsely pubescent), 0.5–2 dm.

(strongly rosulate; shortly petiolate);

blade broadly obovate, 1.5–7.5 (width 7.5–26 mm, base gradually tapering to petiole), margins shallowly dentate, (apex obtuse).

blade obovate to narrowly elliptic, 1.5–6 cm, margins usually entire, rarely shallowly dentate, (surfaces densely pubescent, often silvery).

blade oblanceolate to broadly obovate, 1–2.5 cm, margins entire.

blade oblanceolate to spatulate, 0.5–1 cm, margins entire, (surfaces often sparsely pubescent).

dense.

(narrow), loose, (elongated in fruit).

sepals (pale yellow or yellow-green), narrowly lanceolate to narrowly deltate, 4–8 mm;

petals yellow, broadly spatulate to obovate, 9–13 mm, (not clawed).
