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

several from base, erect to decumbent, (unbranched, fertile stems from among basal leaves), 1.2–1.8 dm.

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

(erect, not rosulate);

blade broadly oblanceolate, 4–8 cm, margins entire or shallowly sinuate-dentate, (apex acute).

(proximal shortly petiolate, distal usually sessile);

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

(proximal petiolate);

blade narrowly lanceolate, similar to basal in size, (distal with cuneate base), margins entire.

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

loose, (elongated in fruit).

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

petals (sometimes white), suborbicular to obovate or obdeltate, 6.5–15 mm, (base narrowing to broad claw, apex sometimes emarginated).

sepals (greenish yellow), elliptic, often broadly so, 4.8–7.1 mm;

petals oblanceolate, 6.8–9.8 mm.

(usually spreading at right angles, sometimes nearly erect, ± straight), 5–15(–20) mm, (stout).

(widely spreading to recurved), 1–1.5 cm.

(sessile or shortly stipitate, less than 1 mm), subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, inflated or slightly compressed (terete or subterete), (4–)5–8(–9) mm;

valves (not retaining seeds after dehiscence), glabrous;

replum as wide as or wider than fruit;

ovules 8–16 per ovary;

style 4–8(–9) mm.

(usually pendent), slightly didymous apically, obcordate, slightly inflated, 4–7 × 3–6 mm, (papery, basal sinus absent, apical sinus evident to nearly absent);

valves (retaining seeds after dehiscence), pubescent;

replum broadly obovate to suborbicular, 4–5 mm, as wide as or wider than fruit, margins entire;

ovules usually 4 (rarely 6–8) per ovary;
