several from base, decumbent to ascending (arising laterally, unbranched, stout), (0.2–)0.5–1.7 dm.

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

(petiole somewhat winged);

blades orbicular to obovate, 2–6 cm (width 1–2.5 cm, thick), margins usually repand, rarely entire, (adaxial surface scurfy).

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

blade oblanceolate to broadly spatulate, 1–2 cm (width 3–5 mm), margins entire, (apex obtuse to subacute).

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

moderately dense (or elongated).
