Flora of North America species comparison

several from base, decumbent, (unbranched, leafy for the genus), ca. 1 dm.

few to several from base, ± erect, (arising laterally, also from within basal leaves), 0.2–0.4 dm.

(forming a strong rosette; long-petiolate);

blade obovate, 1.5–4(–8) cm, (base ± abruptly narrowing to petiole), margins usually repand or dentate, rarely entire, (apex usually angular, surfaces silvery).

(erect);

blade linear-oblanceolate, 1.2–2.8 cm, (base gradually narrowed to petiole), margins entire.

blade oblanceolate, 1–2 cm (width 4–8 mm), margins entire or with occasional tooth, (apex acute).

blade linear, similar to basal.

congested, (elongated in fruit, greatly exceeding leaves).

dense, (often subumbellate, not or barely exceeding basal leaves).

sepals lanceolate to oblong, 6–8 mm, (often keeled);

petals spatulate, 10–12 mm.

sepals (pale green-yellow), oblong to elliptic, 4–5 mm, (median pair usually thickened apically, cucullate);

petals lingulate, 6–9 mm.

(spreading, straight or slightly curved), 8–12 mm.

(ascending, curved), 3–5.5 mm.

(erect), didymous, inflated, 10–20 × 10–20 mm, (papery or firm, basal sinus shallow to deep, sometimes barely notched, apical sinus deep, narrow, usually closed);

valves (retaining seeds after dehiscence), loosely pubescent, trichomes spreading (appearing fuzzy);

replum obovate to broadly oblong, not constricted, 3–4 mm, as wide as or wider than fruit, apex obtuse;

ovules (4–)8 per ovary;

style 7–9 mm.

lanceolate in outline, compressed (latiseptate) on margins and at apex, 4–5 mm;

valves pubescent, trichomes closely appressed;

ovules 8–12 per ovary;

style 3.5–4.5 mm (equaling or exceeding length of fruit, curved proximal to stigma).

flattened.

plump, (oblong).
