Flora of North America species comparison

several from base, ascending to erect (arising laterally, unbranched), 0.5–1(–2.5) dm.

few from base, erect, (stout), to 1.5 dm (sometimes greatly reduced).

(ascending to erect, petiole slender);

blade oblanceolate to obovate, 3–8 cm, (base tapering to petiole), margins incised or dentate with broad teeth, (apex acute to obtuse).

blade suborbicular to rhombic or broadly elliptic, 1–4.5 cm, margins entire, (apex rounded to subacute).

blade linear-oblanceolate to oblanceolate, 1–2 cm, margins entire.

(proximal petiolate, distal subsessile);

blade elliptic, 1–4 cm, (distal narrower), margins entire or remotely dentate.

dense (elongated or not in fruit, 2.5–8.5(–10) cm).

condensed, (subcorymbose to subumbellate, few-flowered).

sepals (greenish yellow), lanceolate, 6–8.5 mm, (saccate and cucullate);

petals spatulate to narrowly oblanceolate, 7–10(–12) mm.

sepals (persistent), broadly ovate or oblong to narrowly elliptic, 5.5–8(–9.5) mm, (lateral pair slightly cucullate, median pair thickened apically, cucullate, usually keeled);

petals (orange to yellow), oblong to obovate, 8–11.5(–14.5) mm, (slightly narrowed to broad claw, margins sinuate, often retuse).

(divaricate, straight), 5–11(–15) mm, (rigid, fruits not pendent on arching pedicels).

(horizontal or divaricate-ascending, straight or slightly curved), 5–15 mm, (stout and rigid).

didymous, sides curved and angular, highly inflated, 6–16 × 8–12 mm, (papery, apical sinus broad and concave);

valves (retaining seeds after dehiscence, distinctly 2-keeled on side away from replum), pubescent, trichomes appressed;

replum linear to linear-lanceolate, as wide as or wider than fruit, apex acute;

ovules 4–8 per ovary;

style 2–9 mm, (usually not exceeding sinus).

(sessile or substipitate), globose, ovoid, or suborbicular, compressed (with marginal and apical constriction), 4–7 mm;

valves pubescent, trichomes contiguous or overlapping, often spreading;

ovules 16–24 per ovary;
