blade suborbicular to narrowly or broadly oblanceolate to broadly elliptic or rhombic, (1.2–)2–6(–8) cm, (base usually abruptly narrowed to petiole), margins entire, sinuate, or lobed.

(tufted, erect or ascending, silvery);

blade linear to oblanceolate or (outer) oblanceolate to obovate or rhombic, 1.5–3.3 cm, (base sometimes subhastate), margins entire or dentate, (often involute).

(proximal petiolate, distal sessile);

blade obovate or elliptic to spatulate, 0.5–2 cm, margins entire.

blade nearly linear, to 1.5 cm, margins entire.

(usually not secund), dense, (sometimes elongated in fruit).

dense, (subcorymbose).

sepals lanceolate, 4–6(–7) mm;
