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

1–5 from base, prostrate to slightly decumbent, (arising laterally, also erect or ascending from tuft of basal leaves, unbranched, purple-green), 0.08–0.3 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).

(petiole slightly winged);

blade oblanceolate, elliptic, or rhombic, (mostly flat, sometimes somewhat folded), 0.6–2.7 cm, (base tapering to petiole), margins entire, (apex rounded to rounded-acute).

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

(3–7, shortly petiolate or sessile);

blade elliptic to oblanceolate, 0.3–0.5 cm, margins entire.

moderately dense (or elongated).

crowded, (ca. 3–7 fruits).

sepals linear-oblong, 6–8 mm;

petals spatulate, 9–12 mm.

sepals (greenish yellow), linear-triangular, 3.7–5 mm, (lateral pair subsaccate);

(erect), didymous, cordate, moderately inflated, (6–)10–20 × 10–23 mm, (papery, base obtuse or with obscure sinus, apical sinus deep, broad);

valves (retaining seeds after dehiscence), densely and loosely pubescent, trichomes spreading;

replum linear-oblong, constricted, as wide as or wider than fruit;

ovules 4 per ovary;

style 4–5(–9) mm.

(shortly stipitate, purple or greenish purple in age), slightly didymous, ovoid to obpyriform, 3–5 mm (wider than long, base rounded-obtuse, apex rounded, flattened, or slightly emarginate);

valves (inflated, slightly wider than replum), pubescent, trichomes scattered;

replum obovate to orbicular-obdeltate, apex rounded, obtuse, or truncate;

septum complete or medially small-perforate;

ovules 4–6(–8) per ovary;
