few to several from base, erect or outer decumbent, 0.5–2.5 dm.

simple from base, loosely spreading, usually decumbent, (well exserted from basal leaves, often reddish purple), 0.8–2.4 dm.

blade suborbicular to elliptic or ovate or deltate, 0.5–2(–6.5) cm, margins entire or shallowly dentate.

blade (erect), spatulate to nearly rhombic, 2.5–5(–9) cm, (base gradually narrowed to petiole), margins entire, (flat).

(proximal shortly petiolate, distal usually sessile);

blade narrowly elliptic or obovate, (0.5–)1–2.5(–4) cm, margins entire.

blade spatulate, similar to basal, margins entire.

compact, (± subumbellate to densely corymbiform, elongated or not).

loose, (elongated, exceeding basal leaves).

sepals ± elliptic, 4.5–7(–8.5) mm, (median pair thickened apically);
